Roman temporary camp at East Farm is a Roman military installation located in Dorset. The site represents a temporary marching camp, a category of Roman military structure typically associated with campaign movements and the exercise of legionary forces during the period of Roman Britain. Such camps were characteristic of Roman military operations, particularly during the conquest and consolidation phases of Roman rule in Britain. The camp's physical character, like others of its type, would have comprised defensive earthwork banks and ditches arranged in a characteristic playing-card layout to accommodate a marching army on campaign.
