Crooks Roman temporary camp is a Roman military installation located in Northumberland, situated in the borderlands of northern Britain. The site dates to the Roman period, likely constructed during campaigns of the 1st or 2nd century AD when Roman forces were advancing into and consolidating control over Scotland. Temporary camps of this type served as short-term bases for Roman armies on campaign, distinguishing them from permanent forts through their construction methods and lack of substantial stone structures. The camp's earthwork defences, consisting of ditches and ramparts, remain visible in the landscape and provide evidence of Roman military organisation and tactical strategy in this frontier region.
