Books or references for Legionary marching camps

[John W Davison]

"Roman Camps in Britain", also by Rebecca Jones has plenty of illustrations and amongst the colour plates has images of reconstructed ditches, "caltrop" defences and tent (the last looks to be fabric rather than leather), as well as various aerial shots:

Kindle edition has some preview pages:

There is also a more academic volume on Scotland:

and for England, RCHM's:

To be honest, though, you are probably best with the Tempus volume as it is about £12 in paberback from Amazon and has a lot of images and probably more than enough detail.

Don't forget the siege camps at Numantia which might be of interest, e.g.

Similarly, the camps at Masada are siege camps, in a rather different environment to Britain. I think there are a few images in Yadin's book (I on longer have a copy) but I am sure a bit of image-googling will give you some decent pictures:
