Roman camp on Bootham Stray is a first-century Roman military installation located near York in North Yorkshire. The camp occupies an elevated position on Bootham Stray, approximately 450 metres north-east of Moor Farm, and represents one of the auxiliary fortifications associated with the Roman occupation of northern Britain. The site's earthworks preserve the characteristic rectilinear defensive outline typical of Roman marching camps or temporary military installations, with surviving banks and ditches visible in the landscape. Its strategic location relative to the River Ouse and proximity to the Roman settlement at York suggests its role in the garrison and consolidation of Roman control in the region during the first and early second centuries AD.
