Annan Hill Roman camp is a Roman auxiliary fort situated in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, dating to the second century AD. The site represents one of the military installations established during the Roman occupation of southern Scotland, likely serving as a strategic stronghold in the network of forts that supported Roman campaigns in the region. The camp's physical remains survive as earthwork features, including defensive ramparts and ditches characteristic of Roman military architecture. Its location and design reflect the systematic approach to frontier fortification employed by Roman commanders managing territories beyond Hadrian's Wall.
