Rectangular Earthworks 530m SSW of Heol-Ddu-Uchaf is a Roman practice camp located in Glamorgan, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM164. The site comprises a rectangular enclosure defined by earthen ramparts and ditches, characteristic of Roman military installations used for training exercises and temporary occupation during the campaigns in Wales. The camp dates to the Roman period of occupation in Britain, likely erected during the first or second century AD when Roman forces were consolidating control over the Welsh territories. The surviving earthworks represent an important example of Roman military infrastructure in Wales, providing archaeological evidence of Roman army organisation, discipline, and tactical practices during the conquest and occupation of the region.
