Okehampton Roman fort is a first-century Roman military installation situated on Dartmoor in Devon, England. The site comprises a fort of approximately three acres together with associated fortlets and enclosures that formed part of the Roman defensive network in the Southwest peninsula. The fort was occupied during the later first century AD, likely constructed during the campaigns of Agricola or in the immediate aftermath, and represents an important element of Rome's control over this remote region. The visible earthworks include the characteristic playing-card shaped fort layout with ditch systems, along with additional field works that demonstrate the scale of Roman military organisation in the Devonian landscape.
