Caerleon Civil Settlement: Area under Broadway Playing Fields is a Roman civil settlement located beneath the playing fields in Caerleon, Monmouthshire, Wales. The settlement developed in association with the Roman fortress of Isca Silurum during the later first and second centuries AD, serving the military and administrative needs of the garrison and its dependents. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of domestic and commercial structures characteristic of the vici, or extra-mural settlements, that typically surrounded major Roman military installations in Britain. The site is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument reflecting its importance to understanding Roman settlement patterns and the civilian population that supported the military presence in south Wales during the Roman occupation.
