Roman enclosure SE of Vagniacae is a Romano-British defensive or administrative structure located in Kent, positioned south-east of the settlement known as Vagniacae, which occupied the site of modern Springhead near Gravesend. Dating to the Roman period, the enclosure represents the archaeological remains of a fortified or bounded settlement area typical of Romano-British occupation. The site's proximity to Vagniacae, an important roadside settlement on the route between Londinium and the coast, suggests it may have served military, commercial, or administrative functions within the broader Roman settlement hierarchy. Archaeological survey and excavation have identified its ditched boundaries and structural remains, contributing to understanding of Roman settlement patterns and defensive arrangements in south-eastern Britain during the occupation period.
