Cefn-Brynich Roman Fort is a Roman auxiliary fort located in Breconshire, Wales, dating to the first and second centuries AD. The fort was established as part of the Roman military infrastructure in Wales during the conquest and consolidation of the province, likely serving as a defensive and administrative centre. The site occupies a commanding position on high ground, typical of Roman fort placement strategy in difficult terrain. Physical remains include the characteristic ditched defences and internal structures associated with auxiliary installations of this period, though the fort has been substantially eroded by subsequent agricultural use and natural processes.
