Blakehope Roman fort and Roman temporary camp is a multi-period Roman site located in Northumberland. The fort, constructed during the Roman occupation of Britain, formed part of the military infrastructure controlling the region, whilst the temporary camp represents a marching camp typical of Roman military campaigns. The site's archaeological significance lies in its evidence of Roman strategic organisation and the layers of occupation it reveals. Both structures remain visible as earthwork monuments in the landscape, providing material testimony to Rome's military presence in northern Britain.
