Chapel Rigg Roman temporary camp is a Roman military encampment located in Northumberland. The site dates to the Roman occupation period and represents the type of temporary marching camp constructed by Roman forces during campaigns in northern Britain. Such camps served as overnight or short-term defensive positions for Roman armies on the move, typically featuring ditched ramparts and arranged to accommodate a legion or auxiliary units. The physical remains at Chapel Rigg preserve evidence of these characteristic defensive earthworks, contributing to understanding of Roman military logistics and movement patterns in the northern frontier region.
