Willowford Roman temporary camp is a first-century Roman military encampment located in Cumberland in the north of England. The site dates to the period of Roman military campaigns in Britain, likely associated with the expeditions into Scotland during the early Imperial period. The camp preserves earthwork remains typical of temporary marching camps, including defensive ditches and ramparts that would have accommodated a mobile military force. Its location in the Cumberland landscape reflects the strategic importance of this region during Rome's expansion northward into Britain.
