Roman Marching Camp 500m south-south-east of Glan-yr-Afon is a Roman military installation in Radnorshire, Wales, identified through aerial photography as a temporary camp associated with Roman military campaigns in the region. The site represents the characteristic rectangular or playing-card plan typical of Roman auxiliary or legionary marching camps, which served as overnight or temporary bases during military operations and reconnaissance in unconquered or recently subdued territories. The camp likely dates to the Roman period of occupation and activity in Wales, potentially associated with the military campaigns of the first and second centuries AD, when Roman forces were consolidating control over the interior regions of Wales. The survival of the earthwork remains, visible principally through cropmark evidence from the air, provides important archaeological evidence for understanding Roman military logistics and the pattern of Roman military presence in the Mid-Wales landscape.
