Nidum
Nidum is a Roman fort found in Cwrt Herbert near the town of Neath, in Wales. An Auxiliary fort first built in around AD 74 from earth banks and wooden structures, it underwent a reduction in size from 3.3 hectares to 2.3 hectares soon afterwards. It may have been garrisoned by perhaps 500 auxiliary troops. It was abandoned in around 125, but re-occupied around 140 when it was rebuilt in stone. However it was only occupied until 170, with 100 years of disuse before a final period in use from 275 to 320.
