A pair of Roman camps and a section of a post-medieval sunken road situated in the north eastern corner of Cornbury Park is a scheduled ancient monument in Oxfordshire comprising two Roman temporary camps of military character, dating to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The camps are distinguished by their characteristic defensive earthworks, consisting of banks and ditches typical of marching camps constructed during military campaigns. A post-medieval sunken road, formed through centuries of use and erosion, traverses the site and represents later land use patterns across the landscape. The monument survives as archaeological earthworks within Cornbury Park and constitutes evidence of both Roman military activity and subsequent medieval and early modern land management in the region.
