Two Roman camps is a pair of Roman military installations situated 550 metres east of Burdhopecrag Hall in Northumberland. The camps date to the Roman occupation of Britain and represent temporary or semi-permanent fortifications associated with military campaigns in the northern frontier region. The site demonstrates the strategic deployment of Roman forces across the landscape during the imperial period, reflecting the logistical demands of maintaining control over this part of northern Britain. Archaeological evidence from the camps contributes to understanding Roman military organisation and the extent of Roman penetration into the upland territories of Northumberland.
