I'm visiting Caerwent today. It's a village in Monmouthshire between Newport and Chepstow. The walls in the photographs are Roman. The Roman town was known as Venta Silurum and was the tribal capital of the Silures tribe . A lot of the Roman walls are still standing and some places the walls are over 15' high. The walls include some towers that were added towards the end of the Roman occupation. As they are now the walls have some handy niches for me to sit in and have my photograph taken. Maybe they were built that way to keep dragons happy by giving them somewhere to rest.
Around the village are remains of a number of Roman buildings. The Forum, Basilica, some temples and some houses have been found and you can walk around the foundations of these.
