Markham Cottage Roman temporary camps 1 and 2 is a section of archaeological remains in Northumberland comprising two Roman military camps and associated infrastructure dating to the Roman occupation of Britain. The site lies along the Stanegate, the Roman road that connected the forts of Corbridge and Carlisle and served as an important military supply route, particularly during the first and second centuries AD. The temporary camps represent short-term military establishments likely used during campaigning or garrison rotations, whilst the adjacent Roman road and two cemeteries indicate sustained Roman activity in the locality. The remains survive as earthworks and subsurface archaeological deposits that provide evidence of Roman military organization and settlement patterns in the frontier region of Roman Britain.
