Roman Fortlet at Disserth is a small Roman auxiliary fort revealed through aerial photography in Radnorshire, Wales. The site dates to the Roman occupation period and represents one of a series of military installations constructed to secure and control the upland regions of mid-Wales. Its discovery through aerial survey demonstrates the value of that archaeological technique in identifying Roman military sites that leave limited surface traces, contributing to understanding of Roman defence networks in the Welsh interior during the imperial period.
