Roman camp, 400m SSW of Sills Farm is a temporary marching camp of the Roman period situated in Northumberland. The site represents one of the auxiliary camps established during Roman military operations in northern Britain, likely dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD when Roman forces were actively campaigning in the region. The camp survives as earthwork remains visible in the landscape, comprising the characteristic ditch and rampart defences typical of Roman temporary fortifications. Such camps served as overnight or short-term bases for mobile military units and provide archaeological evidence for Roman logistical infrastructure and strategic movements across northern Britain.
