Roman camps UK - is there a database or list?

[Steve Kaye]

'Roman Camps in Wales and the Marches' by Jeffry L. Davies and Rebecca H. Jones University of Wales Press 2006. seems to have the sort of information you are after but just covering that region.

One would therefore have assumed that Jones' other book 'Roman Camps in Britain' would have had everthing you needed but it appears to be aimed more at the general reader.

However there is also a 'Roman Camps in Scotland', by Jones, perhaps that is more like the Camps in Wales volume and perhaps another volume dealing with 'Roman Camps in England' is planned.

Dead-tree flat-file technology. As someone who put all the Northumberland temporary camps onto Google Earth using the Welfare & Swan book as a source, you can take it from me that it is very time-consuming to geolocate this stuff. If the files already exist, it's always best to use 'em!

Graham, thanks for the references to the books but Mike is right - hand-cranking data from discarded trees is a terrible job. Now, if only all authors would publish online, digital versions of their tables, lists etc as well as the book .... some now do but not enough.

Mike, I have written to the Pastscape people asking if there is a way to get a full-download. Thanks for the suggestion. Fingers crossed.
