Roman Marching Camp South East of Coelbren Fort is a Roman temporary camp located in the upland region of the Brecon Beacons in Powys, Wales. The camp dates to the Roman period, likely associated with military campaigns in Wales during the first and second centuries AD, when Roman forces were engaged in the subjugation and consolidation of control over the interior of South Wales. The site preserves earthwork remains characteristic of Roman marching camps, including defensive ditches and ramparts that would have provided temporary fortification for Roman troops during military operations. Its proximity to Coelbren Fort, a more permanent Roman installation, suggests it formed part of the broader network of Roman military infrastructure used to maintain order in this strategically important region of the Welsh uplands.
