Tomen-y-mur Roman fort
Toby Driver, the aerial investigator of the Royal Commission, meets Dr Jeff Davies of Aberystwyth University to discuss some recent discoveries at the Roman military landscape of Tomen-y-mur near Trawsfynydd.
At Tomen-y-mur, near Trawfynydd, aerial photography has revealed a large number of military features from the Roman era.
At the heart of the site is the Roman auxiliary fort, which stood in a prominent position on the road from Brithdir near Dolgellau to Segontium at Caernarfon. It was probably founded around AD 70 and abandoned by about AD 130, so a snapshot of half a century of intense activity can be read in the landscape.
