Caer Gai is a Roman auxiliary fort situated in Meirionnydd, Gwynedd, in north-west Wales. The fort was established during the Roman military campaigns in Wales in the late first century AD and represents an important element of the Roman defensive network controlling the region. The site occupies a commanding position overlooking the Mawddach estuary and comprises the typical playing-card layout of a Roman fort with visible earthwork remains of ramparts and ditches. Archaeological investigation and surviving structural evidence indicate the fort was occupied during the first and second centuries AD as part of Rome's strategic control of the Welsh interior.
