The section of Stanegate Roman road from Fell End Roman temporary camp to the track to Old Shield is a segment of the principal Roman military supply route that connected the forts of the Stanegate system in northern Britain during the late first and second centuries AD. This stretch of road, preserving evidence of Roman engineering practices, linked temporary camps and permanent installations across the frontier zone south of Hadrian's Wall. Adjacent to Carvoran Roman fort, a stone-built auxiliary fort established in the second century AD on the Stanegate line, lies a Roman cemetery that served the fort's garrison and associated civilian population. The cemetery and road section together represent important physical remains documenting Roman military infrastructure and funerary practices in Northumberland during the imperial occupation of Britain.
