Nowtler Hill 1 is a Roman temporary camp situated in Cumberland, England. The site dates to the Roman period and represents one of the network of marching camps constructed during military campaigns in northern Britain, likely associated with the conquest and consolidation of the region. The camp's physical remains are characteristic of Roman temporary fortifications, comprising defensive ditches and ramparts arranged in the characteristic playing-card layout typical of such installations. These camps served as overnight or short-term bases for Roman military forces advancing through hostile or unsettled territory during their operations in the north of England.
