Sunny Rigg 1 is a Roman temporary camp located in Northumberland, England, dating to the period of Roman military campaigns in northern Britain. The site represents one of several temporary marching camps constructed by Roman forces during their operations in the region, likely associated with the Flavian period campaigns of the late first century AD. The camp's physical remains are traceable through cropmark evidence and ground survey, revealing the characteristic ditch and rampart defensive works typical of Roman field fortifications. Such temporary camps served as overnight or short-term bases for Roman armies on campaign and provide important evidence for Roman military logistics and territorial penetration into the north of Roman Britain.
