Moss Side 1 and 2 is a Roman temporary camp located in Cumberland, England. The site comprises two overlapping enclosures that served as marching camps during Roman military campaigns in northern Britain, likely dating to the first or second century AD. These camps are characteristic of the temporary structures erected by Roman armies during their movements through unconquered territory, featuring the distinctive playing-card shape typical of Roman castra. The earthwork remains, visible as banks and ditches, represent important archaeological evidence of Roman military logistics and the scale of Roman operations in the region.
