Roman camp 360m SE of East Lodge is a fortification situated in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. The camp occupies land underlain by Border Group sandstones interbedded with mudstone and limestone, geology typical of the region's Meramecian formations. These local stone resources would have been available to Roman engineers constructing the fortification, though the precise date of construction remains undetermined from the available evidence. The camp represents one of several military installations established across southern Scotland during the Roman period, reflecting Rome's strategic interest in controlling the frontier zone north of the Wall systems. Its location near East Lodge places it within a landscape of considerable archaeological significance, part of the broader network of Roman military infrastructure that characterised the Roman occupation of Britain's northern frontier.
