Caer Gai, Roman fort in Llanuwchllyn, United Kingdom
The rectangular earthwork fort stands near Lake Bala, featuring defined ramparts and ditches spread across 4 acres of Welsh countryside.
Built during Emperor Titus reign in the first century CE, the initial wooden structure was replaced by stone fortifications in the second century.
The site connects to Welsh folklore through its association with Cai, son of Cynyr, as mentioned in medieval literature Beirdd yr Uchelwyr.
The fort remains are located at coordinates 52.8692 latitude and -3.66926 longitude, approximately 2 kilometers north of Llanuwchllyn village.
A discovered statue fragment bears an inscription dedicated to Julius, son of Gavero, a soldier from the First Cohort of Nervii.
