Eight Roman inscriptions in the Roman quarry in Combcrag Wood is a collection of carved stone records located 350 metres south of Hadrian's Wall in Cumberland. The inscriptions, cut into the exposed stone faces of the quarry itself, date to the Roman period and provide evidence of the exploitation of local stone resources during the occupation of Britain. The quarry represents an important aspect of Roman military logistics and engineering, supplying materials for the construction and maintenance of Hadrian's Wall and associated structures. The inscribed marks, likely recording work gangs, quarrying operations, or dedicatory texts, constitute rare direct testimony to the labour and organisation involved in extracting and working stone during the Roman frontier period.
