Roman marching camp is a temporary military encampment in Lincolnshire, England, constructed during the Roman campaigns in Britain, likely dating to the first century AD. The site preserves the characteristic defensive earthworks typical of Roman auxiliary forces, including ditches and banks that once surrounded the temporary fort used during active military operations. Such marching camps served as secure overnight positions for mobile Roman forces conducting conquest and consolidation of territory in the British interior. The surviving archaeological features at this location provide evidence of Roman military organisation and tactics during the early imperial period of occupation.
