Caersws Roman Fort and Vicus is a Roman military installation and associated civilian settlement located in Montgomeryshire, Wales, dating to the mid-second century AD. The fort was established as part of Rome's military infrastructure in Wales, likely serving as an auxiliary garrison controlling the upper Severn valley. The vicus, the civilian settlement that developed outside the fort's walls, represents the economic and social community that grew up to service the military population. The southern section of the vicus contains evidence of domestic and commercial occupation, demonstrating the substantial settlement that accompanied Roman military presence in this strategically important region of mid-Wales.
