What is recorded here

Remains of Roman Fort of Nidum (Neath) is a castle, fort or tower in Neath Port Talbot, Wales. Perhaps Roman soldiers marched these streets before withdrawing, leaving behind a quiet gap in the town's memory. Maybe the fort vanished so completely that no wall or gate survives to mark its edge. Imagine a place so erased that even its absence resists description.
