Thanks for posting.
It does NOT look like something ancient.
In fact, it probably looks more modern than some 3rd world countries could put together.
They were so ahead of their time.

I understand the Romans lost it. But how did it end up in Wales?

Unpossible.
Greta has assured us that any ancient ports would be well under water by now.

The Welsh kept saying deagh ('good') but the Romans didn't speak Gaelic; they thought the Welsh were saying that they had fleas.

If the Romans had left a port behind, nothing would remain but the empty bottle. Hey, it's okay to him my own kind.

These ruins and others in Britain must have left the locals in awe for many generations after the living memory of the Romans had passed away -- probably the awe didn't subside until the 17th or 18th centuries.

Yup, kaka happens. By contrast, places more seismically active have become submerged in the same interval -- gosh, it's almost as if there's not really much of a fluctuation in the actual sealevel over time. :^)
