Caersws Roman Fort is a Roman military installation located in Montgomeryshire, Wales, constructed during the later first century AD as part of Rome's consolidation of control over mid-Wales. The fort occupies a strategic position in the Severn Valley and formed part of the defensive network established following the Roman advance into Wales under Agricola and his successors. The surviving south-western defensive section represents the fort's perimeter fortifications, comprising ditch and rampart features that demonstrate the standard Roman military engineering practices employed at auxiliary forts throughout the province. The site remains of significance for understanding Roman military deployment and settlement patterns in the Welsh interior during the first and second centuries AD.
