West Marlish Roman temporary camp (Wallington Demesne)
Cropmarks of the south-west quadrant of a probable Roman temporary camp were recorded by aerial photography in July 1994. The site lies close to the Devil's Causeway Roman road and lies on a gentle south-facing slope looking across the floodplain of the river Wansbeck and beyond. The cropmarks comprised two straight lengths of ditch representing parts of the south and west sides of the camp. The south ditch could be traced for about 425m and the western ditch for about 125m. The site has been ploughed in medieval or post-medieval times as there is cropmark evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation.
