Gaer is a political department ("ward") of Newport, South Wales. The ward includes both the Gaer and Maesglas estates. Gaer is from the Welsh word for fort, as used (with a mutation) in the name of the local Roman town of Caerleon. It has an area which is recognised to be an old fortress site, believed to be Iron Age by residents.
The Gaer is a Communities First ward as it is recognised as being high on the index of multiple deprivation used by the Welsh Assembly to establish the poverty of an area.
