Jay Lane Roman fort is a Roman auxiliary fort located in Herefordshire, England, dating to the first century AD. The fort is situated in the border region of the Welsh Marches and formed part of the military infrastructure established by Rome during its conquest and occupation of Britain. Archaeological investigation and earthwork survey have revealed the characteristic playing-card plan typical of Roman forts of this period, with evidence of ramparts and ditches surviving as upstanding features or as soil marks visible from aerial photography. The site represents an important example of Roman military deployment in the difficult terrain of the Welsh frontier.
