Cawfields Roman temporary camp is a first-century Roman military encampment situated near Haltwhistle in Northumberland, positioned along the Stanegate frontier road. The camp is characterized by its defensive ditches and ramparts, which remain visible as earthwork features across the landscape, and represents the type of temporary fortification constructed during Roman military campaigns and garrison operations in northern Britain. Dating to the period of Roman consolidation in the region, likely during the late first century AD, the site provides archaeological evidence of Roman military infrastructure and strategic positioning in the borderlands north of the Solway-Tyne isthmus.
