Boomby Lane 2 Temporary Camp
Marching or Temporary Camp
Lying on the west bank of the River Eden between Grinsdale and Knockupworth between the Wall and Vallum, are two superimposed Roman encampments. Both camps are aligned roughly east-west but do not share any defensive elements, the smaller camp overlying the western defences of the larger and misaligned with it. The relationship and building sequence of these two camps has yet to be determined.
This small camp lies almost entirely within Boomby Lane-1 and has more pronounced crop-marks. No gateways are visible on A.P.’s.
