Esgairperfedd Marching Camp is a Roman temporary marching camp located in Radnorshire, Wales, dating to the first century AD during the Roman military campaigns in Wales. The site comprises a rectangular enclosure formed by defensive earthworks, typical of the temporary fortifications constructed by Roman legions during their advance and consolidation across the Welsh interior. Its strategic position within the Radnorshire landscape reflects the broader pattern of Roman military penetration into central Wales, likely associated with operations of the first and second centuries AD. The camp's archaeological remains survive as ditches and banks that outline the characteristic playing-card shape of Roman temporary fortifications, providing evidence of the logistical infrastructure supporting Roman military operations in this region.
