Carey is a Roman temporary camp and enclosure located near Abernethy in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises defensive earthworks characteristic of Roman military occupation during the campaigns in northern Britain, likely dating to the late first or early second century AD when Roman forces under governors such as Agricola or later commanders conducted operations in Scotland. The camp's physical remains consist of ditched defences typical of temporary marching camps constructed during military expeditions, which served as secure overnight positions for Roman legionary forces. Such camps are archaeologically significant as evidence of Roman strategic presence and logistical organisation in the Perthshire region during the period of Roman military expansion northward.
