Caersws Roman road is a Roman transport route in Powys, Wales, that formed part of the strategic road network connecting Roman military installations across mid-Wales during the first and second centuries AD. The road facilitated communication and supply lines between fortifications, notably linking to the Roman fort at Caersws itself, which served as an important garrison controlling the Severn valley. The route reflects the Roman military infrastructure established during the occupation of Wales, particularly under the campaigns of the first century AD and the subsequent consolidation of Roman control over the region. Sections of the road remain visible in the landscape, demonstrating the engineering standards of Roman road construction with characteristic raised embankment and metalled surface features.
