Magiovinium is a Roman fort and associated settlement located near Dropshort in Buckinghamshire, England, situated on Watling Street. The fort dates to the 1st century AD and served as an important military installation during the Roman occupation of Britain, functioning as a supply and administrative centre along this major arterial route. Archaeological evidence indicates the site comprised both the fort itself and an extramural vicus or civilian settlement that developed in response to military presence. Although largely unexcavated and largely invisible at ground level today, the site remains of significant archaeological interest for understanding Roman military infrastructure and settlement patterns in the Midlands region.
