The Roman temporary camp 350 metres south-west of Fourlaws is a first or second century AD military installation located in Northumberland. The camp survives as a rectilinear earthwork, typical of Roman auxiliary or legionary forces engaged in campaign operations rather than permanent settlement. Its position in the border landscape reflects the strategic military presence maintained by Rome during its occupation of northern Britain, when such temporary camps served as bases during seasonal campaigns or garrison movements. The site's preservation as an upstanding monument provides archaeological evidence of Roman military infrastructure and the extent of Roman operational activity in the Northumberland region.
