Caersws Roman Fort is a Roman auxiliary fort situated in Powys, Wales, dating to the mid-second century AD during the Roman occupation of Britain. The site represents part of the military infrastructure established to control the interior of Wales, particularly the strategically important Severn valley. The surviving section of south-western defences comprises earthwork remains of the fort's defensive ramparts and ditches, which have endured as archaeological features in the landscape. The fort formed part of a network of Roman installations designed to maintain Roman authority over the native Welsh population and facilitate communication and supply routes across mid-Wales.
