Caersws Roman Fort and Vicus is a Romano-British settlement complex in Powys, Wales, occupied from the late first century AD through the second century AD. The site comprises a auxiliary fort and its associated civilian settlement, or vicus, which developed to serve the military garrison and facilitate trade along important regional routes. The southeastern portion of the vicus, designated as the civil settlement area, contains evidence of domestic structures, craft workshops, and commercial buildings typical of Romano-British roadside settlements. Archaeological investigation has revealed occupation debris, pottery, and structural remains indicating sustained economic activity and settlement associated with the fort's military presence during the Roman period in Wales.
