The Roman camp 50m south of Elm Bank is a military installation located near Congleton in Cheshire, dating to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The site represents one of several auxiliary camps established in the region as part of Rome's strategic control of the north-west frontier. The camp's earthwork defences, comprising ditches and ramparts, survive as upstanding archaeological features that define its rectangular plan characteristic of Roman military architecture. The precise dating and unit garrison remain subjects of archaeological study, though its location within the wider network of Roman fortifications in Cheshire indicates its importance to the logistical organisation of the Roman forces in the area.
