Roman marching camps and temporary military encampments across Britain — the temporary bases of legions on campaign.
94 sites — individual pages for each
Roman marching camps were temporary fortified enclosures built by legions on the move, thrown up at the end of each day's march and abandoned the next morning. Identified primarily through aerial photography and LiDAR survey, they preserve a remarkable record of Roman military movement — including campaign routes into Scotland under Agricola, Septimius Severus and other commanders.
All 94 military camp sites recorded in Britain are listed below, each with its own dedicated page covering historical context, significance, nearby Roman sites, scheduled monuments and Domesday Book cross-references.
