Roman Camp, 750m SSW of Sills Farm is a Roman military installation situated in Northumberland. The site represents a temporary or semi-permanent encampment of the Roman period, likely dating to the campaigns of the first and second centuries AD when Roman forces were consolidating control over northern Britain. The camp's physical remains consist of earthwork defences characteristic of Roman military engineering, including ditches and banks that once protected the garrison. Such installations were typically occupied for relatively brief periods during military operations or served as supply bases during the subjugation and governance of the frontier regions of Roman Britain.
