Miskin Roman fort is a Roman auxiliary fort located in Glamorgan, Wales, dating to the later first century and second century AD. The fort was positioned to control the upland route through the South Welsh valleys and to facilitate Roman military operations in the region during the occupation of South Wales. Archaeological investigation has revealed ditches and structural remains characteristic of a fort of this period, though much of the site is now obscured beneath modern development. The fort represents an important element of the Roman military infrastructure established to maintain order and extract resources from the mineral-rich territories of South Wales.
