Ellisland is a Roman camp located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, dating to the later second century AD during the Roman occupation of Britain. The site comprises a rectangular fortified enclosure typical of temporary marching camps constructed during military campaigns, particularly those associated with the governorship of Septimius Severus or the subsequent reoccupation of northern Britain. The camp's earthworks, though now relatively modest in scale, remain visible in the landscape and have been subject to archaeological survey and study. The site's strategic position within Dumfriesshire reflects the Roman military presence in the region during the period of intensive Roman activity in Caledonia.
