In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Caerfagu like this:

CAERFAGAN, a locality 6 miles ESE of Rhayader, in Radnor. It is traversed by a Roman road; and is supposed by many antiquaries to be the site of the Roman station Magos. Numerous Roman relics have been found in its neighbourhood.
