Abstract

This paper describes how the reinterpretation of published coin evidence from the Portable Antiquities Scheme, coupled with favourable conditions for cropmark formation, led to the discovery in 2013 of a probable Claudio-Neronian fort in the upper Usk valley near Brecon. This extends our knowledge of pre-Flavian installations further into central Wales than the hitherto most westerly known fort at Abergavenny.
