Limestone Corner Roman temporary camp is a first-century Roman military installation located in Northumberland. The camp represents one of a series of temporary marching camps established during the Roman campaigns in northern Britain, likely dating to the Flavian period of conquest and consolidation in the late first century AD. The site preserves evidence of the characteristic defensive ditches and ramparts typical of Roman temporary camps, which were constructed rapidly by military units on campaign. Its location within Northumberland reflects the strategic positioning of Roman forces as they advanced into and occupied the frontier regions of Roman Britain.
