Haltwhistle Burn 1 is a Roman temporary camp, fortlet and section of the Stanegate road located in Northumberland. The site dates to the Roman period and forms part of the broader military infrastructure associated with the Stanegate, the important road and supply line that connected the forts along the frontier zone in northern Britain before and after the construction of Hadrian's Wall. The fortlet represents one of several small garrisons established to control movement and provide logistical support along this crucial route. The remains, now recorded as an ancient monument, preserve evidence of the Roman military occupation and road network that characterised this region during the imperial period.
