Haltwhistle Burn Roman temporary camps 2 and 3 is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland comprising two Roman military camps and associated archaeological features dating to the first century AD. The camps represent evidence of Roman military operations during the campaigns in northern Britain, likely connected to the Agricolan period of conquest in the late first century. The site also preserves remains of cord rig cultivation, a distinctive form of strip field system, demonstrating the long continuity of agricultural use across the landscape. The physical character of the camps is visible as earthwork features comprising ditched enclosures typical of temporary Roman military installations, which would have served as short-term bases during military manoeuvres.
