Boomby Lane 1 and 2 Roman temporary camps are a pair of Roman marching camps located in Cumberland, England. These sites date to the Roman military campaigns in northern Britain, likely associated with the advance into Scotland during the first and second centuries AD. The camps are identifiable through their characteristic defensive earthwork features, including ditches and ramparts that would have been constructed rapidly by Roman legions during their movements through the region. Such temporary camps served as overnight or short-term encampments for Roman forces on campaign and represent important archaeological evidence for understanding Roman military operations and movements across the landscape of Roman Britain.
