Esgairperfedd Marching Camp is a Roman temporary camp located in Radnorshire, Wales, dating to the first or second century AD. The camp occupies an elevated position and retains visible earthwork defences characteristic of Roman military installations, including ditched boundaries that would have enclosed an organised internal layout for troops and supplies. As a marching camp, it represents the infrastructure of Roman military campaigns in Wales, likely associated with the conquest and consolidation of the region during the early imperial period. The site remains an important archaeological record of Roman military presence in mid-Wales, preserved as a scheduled ancient monument.
