Remains of a possible second Roman fort has been discovered in the Pembrokeshire region of Wales.The second Roman fort found in this area would support the belief that the Romans had a major presence in this area. (Above is a photo of a tile thought to be part of a Roman roof.) This finding could challenge previous concepts about the extent of the Roman occupation in Wales.

Here is an article from the BBC stating that this find supports the belief that Wales was more integrated into the Roman Empire than previously thought.

The find was 2 to 3 hectares in size could support 500 individuals.
