Chew Green is the site of the ancient Roman encampment Ad Fines in Northumberland, England,〔Richmond, I.A., & Keeney, G.S. (1937). ''Archaeologia Aeliana'' (4th Series) 14, 129–50.〕 north of Rochester and west of Alwinton. The encampment was adjacent to Dere Street, a Roman road that stretched south to York (Eboracum), and almost on the present-day border with Scotland. Archaeological excavation at Chew Green has uncovered a complex of Roman military camps consisting of a Roman fort, two fortlets, two camps and a section of Roman road. The Roman remains were overlaid with evidence of a medieval settlement that included a small chapel. The largest camp structure is a square that encloses about with a defensive rampart and ditch. Evidence inside the fort indicates it was used as permanent settlement. Ad Fines likely served only as a military base, not a colonial settlement.〔Stuart, R. (1845).
