A Roman camp, forts and vexillation fortress 240m north of Lake Farm is a complex of Roman military installations located in Dorset. The site comprises multiple structural phases representing different periods of Roman occupation and military use, including evidence of both temporary camp works and more permanent fortified positions characteristic of vexillation fortress occupation. The installations date to the Roman period, reflecting the strategic military infrastructure established during Rome's control of Britain. The physical remains, now largely subsurface archaeological features, represent important evidence of Roman military organisation and the distribution of forces across the province during the early imperial period.
