Brecon
Gaer Roman Fort
On a farm near Aberyscir just north of the river Usk, minor road off
the A40 northwest of Brecon, Powys. Cadw.
Remain of an early fort begun about 75 AD near the River Usk. The perimeter
wall with corner turrets is still preserved, and the gateways still
show the holes where the gate-pivots hung. Finds from Brecon Gaer can
be viewed at the Brecknock Museum in Brecon. See

Pigwyn
Roman Marching Camps
On the A40 west of Brecon, near Trecastle, and then off the minor
road to Pont ar Hydfer.
Two temporary marching camps built one inside the other. The most obvious
features are the low earthen banks which acted as a defensive perimeter.
A Roman road connects the forts to nearby Pigwyn Stone Circles. See

Sarn
Helen Roman Road
Runs from near Coed-y-Garreg northwards across Fforest Fawr towards
Brecon.
Sarn Helen is one of the best preserved stretches of Roman road in Wales.
The road runs north from Coed-y-Garreg toward Brecon. The method of
construction can be best seen at Maen Madoc, where the cobbled surface
and ditch is exposed. See
