The Roman camp and section of Roman road located approximately 700 metres south-east of Field Head Farm in Cumberland is a scheduled ancient monument dating to the Roman period. The camp represents evidence of Roman military infrastructure in the North of England, whilst the adjacent road section testifies to the systematic network of communications established by Roman forces in the region. The physical remains comprise the earthworks of the camp and the visible course of the Roman road, which survives as a landscape feature. These monuments together constitute important archaeological evidence for Roman military occupation and the development of transport infrastructure in northern Britain during the Romano-British period.
