Roman Fortlet 300m SW of Gallt yr Adar Fawr is a small Roman auxiliary installation situated in Carmarthenshire, Wales, dating to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The fortlet represents one of a series of military installations established by Roman forces to control and garrison the Welsh interior, reflecting the strategic importance of the region during Rome's campaigns in Wales. The site's precise physical dimensions and structural remains have been documented through archaeological survey, though the fortlet's modest size indicates it served a supporting role within the broader network of Roman frontier defence. Its location in the upland terrain of Carmarthenshire underscores the Roman military's investment in securing routes through difficult topography during their subjugation and control of the Welsh territories.
