Dargues is a Roman temporary camp located in Northumberland in northern England. The site dates to the Roman military campaigns in Britain, likely associated with the Agricolan advance into Scotland during the late first century AD. The camp is identifiable by its characteristic ditched defences and layout, which reflect standard Roman military engineering practices of the period. Such temporary camps served as marching camps for legionary forces during conquest and consolidation operations in the frontier regions of Roman Britain.
