Roman soldiers dug Y Pigwm in 70 AD, forcing red earth into sharp angles while men watched from nearby hills. The camp may have hosted thousands for weeks before they marched on, leaving behind a hollow box still visible in the grass.

Roman Marching Camp (Y Pigwm) is shown as a fort on the public map of Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

A Roman marching camp, it was established by the Roman military during their campaigns in Wales, likely in the 2nd or 3rd century AD. It is important as evidence of Roman military activity and control in the region during the Roman occupation of Britain.
