Archaeologists uncover Roman fort in Welsh hills near Frenni Fawr

Archaeologists have found a Roman fort in Pembrokeshire, Wales, near a hill called Frenni Fawr. The team discovered building remains, pottery, roof tiles, and coins from the fourth century. Before this dig, there was no physical proof that any Roman fort existed at this location.

The discovery is connected to an old Welsh story. Medieval tales described a Roman military camp near Frenni Fawr, but historians had no evidence to support this. Now, for the first time, archaeology suggests the legend may have had real origins.

The fort could be linked to Magnus Maximus, a Roman commander who became emperor in the fourth century and led campaigns in Britain. The coins found at the site date to his period.
