Gaer Roman Site is a Roman enclosure located in Radnorshire, Wales, dating to the later second century AD. The site comprises a substantial rectangular fortified enclosure whose earthwork remains are still visible in the landscape, representing a significant example of Roman military infrastructure in the Welsh borderlands. Gaer functioned as part of the Roman military system designed to control and garrison the territories of Wales and the Marches during the period of Roman occupation. The monument's preservation as an earthwork demonstrates the scale and character of Roman fort construction in this region during the Antonine period.
