Warcop Roman camp is a military installation of the Roman period situated in Westmorland in northern England. The site, located approximately 285 metres south-west of Moor House, comprises the earthwork remains of a Roman fort and associated linear features. The camp dates to the Roman occupation of Britain, likely constructed and occupied during the first or second century AD as part of the military infrastructure controlling the Lake District region and routes northwards. The surviving archaeological features include ditches and rampart lines characteristic of Roman auxiliary fort design, though substantial portions of the original structure remain largely obscured beneath ground level.
