Brown Moor Roman temporary camp is a Roman marching camp located in Northumberland in northern England. The site dates to the Roman period and represents the type of fortified enclosure constructed by Roman armies during campaigns, typically used as overnight or short-term military accommodation during expeditions. Temporary camps of this character are archaeologically significant as they provide evidence of Roman military movements and organisational practices in Britain, particularly during periods of frontier consolidation and exploration in the second century AD. The physical remains at Brown Moor follow the characteristic rectangular layout and defensive ditching systems characteristic of Roman military engineering of the period.
