Caersws Roman Site is a Roman fort located in Powys, Wales, occupying a strategic position in the Severn valley. The fort was established during the Roman military campaigns in Wales, likely in the mid-first century AD, and served as an important garrison controlling movement through central Wales. Archaeological investigation has revealed remains of the fort's defences and internal structures, indicating a substantial military installation typical of Roman auxiliary forts. The site represents a key element of Rome's conquest and consolidation of Wales, though the fort appears to have been abandoned after a relatively short period of occupation.
