Roman camp on Bootham Stray is a first-century Roman military installation located approximately 450 metres north-east of Moor Farm near York in Yorkshire. The camp comprises defensive earthworks characteristic of temporary Roman marching camps, with visible traces of ditches and ramparts that would have accommodated a military unit during the Roman conquest and consolidation of northern Britain. Dating to the early Roman period, the site represents evidence of Roman military operations in the region, likely associated with the campaigns following the invasion of AD 43 or the subsequent consolidation of Roman control over Yorkshire. The survival of its earthwork defences makes it an important archaeological resource for understanding Roman military logistics and the physical infrastructure of the occupation period.
