Lydney Harbour is a Roman port installation located on the Severn Estuary in Gloucestershire, dating to the later Roman period, likely the third or fourth century AD. The site represents an important example of Romano-British maritime infrastructure, serving as a harbour facility that would have facilitated trade and communication along this significant waterway. Physical remains at the site include evidence of harbour structures and associated Roman occupation, though the precise extent and condition of surviving features reflect the challenging environment of the tidal estuary. The monument testifies to Roman economic activity and settlement patterns in the Forest of Dean region during the later imperial period.
