Jay Lane Roman fort is a Roman military installation located in Herefordshire, England, dating to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The fort represents part of the defensive and administrative infrastructure established by Rome in the Welsh borderlands, a strategically significant region during the conquest and consolidation of Roman Britain. Archaeological investigation and field survey have identified the site's earthwork remains, which preserve evidence of the fort's layout and construction. The fort contributes to our understanding of Roman military organisation and deployment patterns in the frontier zones of the province of Britannia.
