Sunny Rigg 3 is a Roman temporary camp located in Northumberland. The site dates to the Roman period and represents one of several temporary marching camps constructed during the military campaigns in northern Britain, likely in connection with the advance into Scotland or frontier operations during the first and second centuries AD. The camp's physical remains are visible as earthwork ditches and ramparts characteristic of Roman temporary fortifications, which were rapidly constructed and abandoned during military movements. Such camps provide important archaeological evidence for Roman military strategy and the logistics of campaigning in the British frontier region.
