Eshiels Roman camps is a pair of Roman military enclosures situated in Peeblesshire, Scotland, occupying a strategic position in the Tweed Valley. The camps date to the period of Roman campaigning in Scotland during the late first and second centuries AD, likely associated with the operations of Agricola or the later Antonine period. The two camps are distinguished by their characteristic playing-card shaped ramparts, with the larger example measuring approximately 130 by 110 metres, demonstrating the standard fort design employed by the Roman army in northern Britain. The site's location reflects Roman strategic control of important river crossings and communication routes during their occupation of lowland Scotland.
