The Roman temporary camp 350 metres south-west of Fourlaws is a first or second century military installation located in Northumberland. The site represents one of several temporary camps established in the region during the Roman campaigns in Britain, likely associated with the operations of the Roman army as it moved through northern England. The camp's earthworks, now substantially levelled, would originally have comprised defensive ditches and ramparts typical of Roman marching camps, designed for temporary occupation by troops on campaign. Its precise dating and specific historical context within the broader pattern of Roman military activity in Northumberland remain subjects of archaeological study.
