Cardean Roman Camp is a Flavian-period military installation located in Angus, Scotland, constructed during the Roman campaigns in northern Britain in the late first century AD. The camp occupies a strategic position in the landscape and represents evidence of Roman military organisation and infrastructure during their advance into Caledonia. The site is further distinguished by the presence of a prehistoric barrow, indicating substantial human activity and settlement in the locality across multiple millennia. The combination of Roman military remains with earlier burial monuments makes this location of considerable archaeological importance for understanding both Iron Age and Roman-period activity in eastern Scotland.
