The Roman vexillation fortress located 310 metres and 530 metres south of Osmanthorpe Manor in Nottinghamshire is a scheduled ancient monument dating to the Roman period. This site represents evidence of Roman military occupation and infrastructure in the East Midlands, forming part of the wider network of Roman forts and fortifications established during the conquest and consolidation of Britain. The fortress would have housed a vexillatio, a detachment of troops drawn from a larger legion, and reflects the strategic military deployment patterns of Roman forces in this region. Archaeological investigation and earthwork survival have contributed to the understanding of Roman frontier and garrison arrangements in the Nottinghamshire landscape during the imperial period.
