Gilnockie Roman Camp is a Roman auxiliary fort located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, situated approximately 300 metres south-west of New Woodhead. The camp dates to the Roman period of occupation in Britain, likely constructed during the first or second century AD as part of Rome's military infrastructure in Scotland. The site preserves the characteristic defensive earthworks typical of Roman auxiliary forts, including ditches and ramparts, though its precise dimensions and internal arrangement require archaeological investigation to establish fully. Its location within the broader network of Roman forts in southern Scotland reflects the strategic importance of the region during the period of Roman military campaigns north of Hadrian's Wall.
