Sunny Rigg 2 is a Roman temporary camp located in Northumberland. The site dates to the Roman period and represents one of the military installations associated with the Roman campaigns in northern Britain. Like other temporary camps of this type, it would have served as a short-term marching camp for Roman forces, likely constructed during expeditionary movements rather than as a permanent garrison. The camp's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding Roman military logistics and territorial control in the frontier regions of Roman Britain.
