Grindon School Roman temporary camp is a Roman military installation located in Northumberland, dating to the period of Roman occupation in northern Britain. The site preserves archaeological evidence of a temporary marching camp, a form of fortification constructed by Roman forces during campaigns and military movements across the region. Such camps served as secure overnight encampments for troops on the march and typically exhibit characteristic defensive earthworks including ditches and ramparts arranged in a distinctive playing-card layout. The camp's remains contribute to understanding Roman military operations and infrastructure in the frontier zones of Roman Britain, particularly the movement and staging of legionary forces in the second century AD.
