Summary
[edit]DescriptionCae Gaer 750952.jpg |
English: Cae Gaer Roman Fort, 3 km from Pant Mawr, Powys, Wales.
The earthworks and ramparts of the fort are readily visible. Various theories have been propounded to explain the purpose of the site but the most likely is that it represents the remains of a turf and timber fort. The site was excavated in 1913 and is thought to date from Nero's Welsh Campaign in AD57/58. It is suggested that the fort would have been the barracks for a 'cohort' of some 500 men but would have been too limited to accommodate the whole cohort, the remainder of which may have been based at Pen-y-Crocbren <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SN855935">SN855935</a>, some 8 miles to the north. There is a possibility that the Romans mined quartz in the vicinity of Cae Gaer.
