Roman Marching Camp NE of Maen Madog is a Roman Defence and Marching Camp located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as Scheduled Ancient Monument BR162 by Cadw. The site belongs to the period of Roman military operations in Wales, when such temporary encampments served as staging posts during campaigns of conquest and consolidation across the region. The camp preserves evidence of its defensive earthworks in the form of ditches and ramparts characteristic of Roman military engineering, though like many marching camps its condition reflects two millennia of erosion and agricultural use. Its location in Breconshire places it within the broader context of Roman Wales, where a network of such camps and forts supported the legionary advance into the interior of the principality during the first century AD.
