Roman Marching Camp (Glan-yr-Afon) is a Roman temporary encampment located approximately 500 metres south-south-east of Glan-yr-Afon in Radnorshire, Wales. The site was identified through aerial photography, a method that has proven particularly effective in revealing the ditched defences and rectilinear layout characteristic of Roman military camps. The camp dates to the Roman occupation period and represents the type of temporary fortified installation constructed by Roman forces during military campaigns and garrison duties across Wales. Such marching camps are archaeologically significant as evidence of Roman military movement and organisation in the conquest and control of Wales during the first and second centuries AD.
