Camp Wood is a Roman camp situated 335 metres south-west of Campwood Farm in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site represents a temporary marching camp of the Roman military, consistent with the pattern of auxiliary installations established during the Roman campaigns in northern Britain, likely dating to the later second century AD. The camp's physical remains are visible as earthwork defences, characteristic of Roman temporary encampments designed for short-term military occupation. Such camps formed part of the logistical infrastructure supporting Roman military operations in Scotland, particularly during the period of Roman advance into the Scottish lowlands.
