A Roman marching camp once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Northumberland. The Albion Guide charts 30 Roman marching camps in the county; this is one of them. It sits inside Northumberland National Park National Park.

For more of the same, Great Chesters and Cawfields Roman Wall are close by. Haltwhistle Station is 2.4 km away to the south.

Full name: Markham Cottage Roman temporary camps 1 and 2, a section of the Stanegate Roman road, a length of Roman road and two Roman cemeteries
