Walwick Fell Roman temporary camp is a first-century Roman marching camp located in Northumberland in northern England. The camp dates to the period of Roman military operations in Britain, likely associated with campaigns in the north during the early imperial period. The site preserves the characteristic earthwork defences typical of Roman temporary camps, which were constructed by the legions during their advance and withdrawal across hostile territory. Such camps served as secure overnight positions for troops on the march and represent important archaeological evidence of Roman military logistics and the infrastructure of conquest in Britain.
