Roman camp on Fox Covert Lane is a fortified military enclosure located approximately 650 metres north-west of Picton Gorse in Cheshire. The site represents a Roman auxiliary fort of the first or second century AD, positioned within the wider network of military installations that controlled the north-western frontier of Roman Britain. The camp is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a ditch and rampart system characteristic of Roman military architecture, which remain visible as surface features across the monument's footprint.
