Abergavenny Roman Fort is a Roman auxiliary fort located in Monmouthshire, Wales, dating to the first and second centuries AD. The fort was established as part of the Roman military infrastructure in south Wales, serving to control the local population and secure the surrounding region during the Roman occupation of Britain. Archaeological investigation and surviving earthworks indicate the fort occupied a strategic position in the landscape, though much of its original structure lies beneath modern development. The site represents an important example of Roman military presence in Wales and contributes to understanding Roman frontier strategy in the western provinces of Britain.
