Abergavenny Roman Fort is a Roman auxiliary fort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, dating to the first and second centuries AD. The fort was established during the Roman conquest and occupation of Wales, serving as a strategic military installation to control the surrounding territory and maintain Roman authority in the region. The site preserves the typical playing-card layout characteristic of Roman forts, with evidence of multiple phases of occupation and reconstruction reflecting changing military requirements throughout the Roman period. Archaeological investigations have revealed structural remains and artefactual evidence that contribute to our understanding of Roman military deployment and the Romanisation process in Wales during this era.
