Nowtler Hill 2 is a Roman temporary camp located in Cumberland, England. The site dates to the Roman period and represents one of a series of marching camps constructed during military campaigns in northern Britain, likely associated with the systematic conquest and consolidation of the region. The camp's physical remains, discernible through archaeological survey and earthwork analysis, consist of defensive ditches and ramparts characteristic of temporary Roman military installations. Such camps served as secure overnight stops for Roman armies on the move and provide important evidence for understanding Roman military operations and logistics in the north of Britain.
