Burnside of Baltersan is a Roman camp located approximately 700 metres south of Baltersan in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The site comprises a ring ditch, associated pits, and the remains of a Roman military installation, reflecting the Roman army's presence in southern Scotland during the imperial period. The ring ditch and pits represent features typical of Roman temporary or semi-permanent camps, likely dating to the campaigns of the first or second century AD when Roman forces conducted operations in the region. The site's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding the extent and nature of Roman military activity in the Borderlands during the occupation phases of Roman Britain.
