Hinxworth Roman fortlet is a small Roman military installation located in Hertfordshire, dating to the Roman period of British occupation. The site represents one of a series of minor fortifications established in the region, likely serving functions related to territorial control, supply lines, or local security during Rome's presence in Britain. Archaeological investigation has identified defensive earthworks characteristic of Roman fortlet design, though the precise chronological phases and full extent of occupation remain subjects of scholarly study. The monument survives as earthwork remains visible in the landscape and constitutes an important record of Roman military infrastructure in the south-east of England.
