Nowtler Hill 2 is a Roman temporary camp located in Cumberland, England. The site dates to the Roman period and represents one of the auxiliary marching camps established during military campaigns in northern Britain, likely associated with the Flavian advance into Scotland during the first century AD. The camp's physical remains are identifiable through cropmarks and earthworks that reveal its characteristic playing-card layout with multiple ditches, typical of Roman temporary fortifications designed for short-term occupation during troop movements. Such camps are valuable archaeological evidence for understanding Roman military logistics and the pattern of conquest in the north of Britain.
