Roman camp at Upton is a first or second-century Roman military installation located near Long Lane in Cheshire. The site survives as a cropmark and earthwork evidence approximately 400 metres east of the water tower, revealing the characteristic rectilinear defences typical of temporary or semi-permanent Roman military camps. Its precise dating and full extent remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though the site's location within the broader Roman frontier system of northern Britain suggests strategic importance. The camp forms part of the archaeological record documenting Roman military presence in the north-western provinces during the early Imperial period.
