Roman Marching Camp South East of Coelbren Fort is a Roman defence work and temporary encampment located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM343. The camp dates to the Roman period and represents the type of temporary military installation constructed during Roman military campaigns in Wales, likely associated with the conquest and consolidation of the region during the first and second centuries AD. Its position relative to Coelbren Fort, a permanent auxiliary fort, suggests its role within the broader Roman military infrastructure of the area. The site's physical remains preserve evidence of the characteristic ditched and ramparted layout typical of Roman marching camps, though its precise dimensions and detailed archaeological character require reference to specialist survey records held by Cadw and relevant archaeological publications.
