Campfield (tower 2b) is a Roman fortlet that formed part of the coastal defences established along the Cumbrian shore during the later Roman occupation of Britain. Located 350 metres south-west of Campfield Farm, the site comprises the remains of a fortification accompanied by parallel ditches and proximity to a Roman road that served the military infrastructure of the frontier region. The tower represents the systematic development of small military installations designed to protect and control movement along this strategically important coastal zone. The site's archaeological importance lies in its contribution to understanding the Roman military organisation and defensive strategy employed in the north-western frontier territories during the Imperial period.
