Roman marching camp 450 yards north-east of Brovacum is a temporary military enclosure dating to the Roman occupation of Britain. The camp lies in Westmorland and represents the type of fortified overnight stopping place constructed by Roman legions during campaigns in northern England, particularly during the conquest and consolidation of the region in the first and second centuries AD. Such camps are characterised by their defensive ditches and ramparts, which could be rapidly constructed and abandoned as armies moved through hostile territory. The proximity of this example to Brovacum, a known Roman fort, suggests it formed part of the logistical infrastructure supporting Roman military operations in the Lake District and surrounding uplands.
