Wall Town Roman camp is a Roman auxiliary fort located near Craven Arms in Shropshire, positioned along the line of the Roman road known as the Icknield Street. The fort dates to the first century AD and served as an important military installation during the early period of Roman occupation in Britain. The site preserves earthwork remains of the fort's defences and internal structures, though much of it lies beneath pasture land. Wall Town represents a significant example of Roman military infrastructure in the Welsh Marches region, strategically placed to support Roman control and communication across this frontier zone.
