Sunny Rigg 1 is a Roman temporary camp located in Northumberland, dating to the Imperial period of Roman Britain. The camp represents one of several temporary military installations in the region, likely constructed during campaigns of conquest and consolidation in northern Britain. Temporary camps of this type were built to provide shelter and security for Roman forces during military operations, typically abandoned once their strategic purpose was fulfilled. The site's archaeological remains contribute to understanding Roman military logistics and the pattern of occupation across Northumberland during the Roman period.
