The Roman Amphitheatre at Carmarthen is a scheduled ancient monument that formed part of the Roman fort and settlement at Moridunum in South Wales. Dating to the second century AD, the amphitheatre represents one of the few known examples of such structures in Roman Britain and would have served the garrison and local population for military training exercises, public spectacles, and assemblies. The site preserves substantial earthwork remains that demonstrate the characteristic oval or elliptical plan typical of Roman amphitheatres, though much of the original stone structure has been lost. Its presence reflects Carmarthen's significance as an important Roman military and administrative centre in the province of Britannia.
