Caerleon Legionary Fortress: Grounds of Health Clinic is a Roman legionary fortress located in Caerleon, Monmouthshire, Wales. The site forms part of the extensive remains of Isca Silurum, a major auxiliary and legionary installation established in the late first century AD, likely around 75 AD, which served as a permanent base for Roman military operations in South Wales throughout the Roman period. The fortress grounds at this location preserve archaeological deposits and structural remains characteristic of Roman military occupation, including evidence of barrack blocks, fortifications, and associated infrastructure typical of a legionary establishment. The site remains significant for understanding Roman military organisation and the Romanisation of Wales, though much of the fortress lies beneath modern Caerleon and has been revealed only through selective excavation and archaeological investigation.
