Roman sites in Wales

Aberffraw Roman Fort - Usk Roman Fortress

About the Gazetteer

The Roman presence in Wales was not as comprehensive as that in England; the invaders found the mountainous terrain difficult, and the native tribes equally so. Nevertheless, there are several very well preserved Roman sites in Wales, most notably in the south east and north. Here you will find a listing of the major Roman sites. Where possible we've tried to provide map links to help you pinpoint the locations, some of which can be awkward to find with a good OS map!
