Cefn-Caer is a Roman fort located in Meirionnydd, Gwynedd, Wales, situated strategically in the upland terrain of mid-Wales. The site dates to the Roman military occupation of Wales, likely established during the first century AD as part of Rome's conquest and consolidation of the province. The fort's defensive position reflects its role in controlling the challenging landscape and the local population of the region. The remains visible today include earthwork features characteristic of Roman auxiliary forts, though the site has been subject to erosion and agricultural use over the centuries.
