Cwm Nant Marching Camp (St Harmon)
Marching or Temporary Camp
The NW and SE sides of this camp, including all four corner-angles, are visible in fields SE of the confluence of the Black Brook with the Afon Marteg, both tributaries of the Wye. The SW and NE sides are only partially traced. The only identifiable gateway lies in the centre of the SE side, protected by an internal clavicula. This camp lies just 4½ miles east of the similarly sized camp at Esgairperfedd.
