Uffington Roman Temporary Camp is a Roman military installation located near Shrewsbury in Shropshire. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a marching camp, identifiable by its characteristic rectangular layout and defensive ditches, which would have served as a temporary fortification for Roman troops moving through the region. Dating to the Roman period, the camp reflects the military infrastructure associated with Rome's occupation and campaigns in Britain, likely erected during the first or second century AD. The survival of its physical features, visible as banks and ditches in the landscape, provides archaeological evidence of Roman military strategy and movement patterns in the Welsh Marches frontier zone.
