Lees Hall Roman Camp

Lees Hall Roman Camp is an archaeological site, a Roman camp near Hadrian's Wall, in Northumberland, England [1]. It is near Haltwhistle and adjacent to the B6318 road [1]. The camp is one of over 40 temporary Roman camps recorded near Hadrian's Wall; they may have been marching camps, or were occupied by troops constructing the wall, or were used during military training [1]. This camp is unusual in having an outwork surrounding the main defences, suggesting that it was used for more than one campaign season [1]. The camp, a scheduled monument, is about 1 kilometre south of Hadrian's Wall, and is 680 metres south of the Vallum [1]. There are extensive views to the north and east; a small stream lies within the fort [1]. It survives as earthworks and ditches; the rampart has an average height of 0.3 metres with an external ditch up to 0.4 metres deep [1]. It is rectangular, measuring 203 metres west to east by 140 metres north to south, enclosing an area of 1.7 hectares [1].
