Dol-ddinas Roman Earthworks is a Roman practice or defence camp situated in Meirionnydd, North Wales. The site comprises substantial earthwork remains consisting of a ditched enclosure with associated defensive features typical of Roman military installations of the later Imperial period. Located in challenging upland terrain, the camp reflects Roman military activity in Wales during the consolidation and maintenance of provincial control, likely dating to the second or third century AD. The earthwork remains, though reduced by time and cultivation, retain sufficient archaeological integrity to demonstrate Roman military engineering practices in the Welsh landscape.
