Nanstallon Roman fort is a first-century auxiliary fort located in Cornwall, situated approximately 135 metres south-west of Tregear. The fort dates to the Roman conquest period, likely established during the campaigns of the 60s and 70s AD as part of the military occupation of south-western Britain. The site preserves evidence of a rectangular fortification with defensive ditches, characteristic of Roman military architecture of this era. Nanstallon represents an important example of Roman military infrastructure in the remote periphery of the provincial frontier and would have served to garrison troops and maintain Roman control over the newly conquered Cornish territory.
