Carmarthen Roman Fort is a Roman military installation located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, founded during the first century AD as part of the Roman conquest and consolidation of Wales. The fort, known in Roman sources as Moridunium, served as an important auxiliary garrison controlling the river crossing of the Tywi and maintaining Roman authority in the region. Archaeological investigation has revealed structural remains including defensive ditches and building foundations characteristic of Roman fort construction. The site continued in use through the second century AD, after which occupation appears to have diminished, reflecting broader Roman military redeployment in Britain.
