Blaen-y-Cwm Inscribed Stone is a Roman funerary monument now housed in Llandrillo Church in Meirionnydd, Wales. The stone bears an inscription in Latin characters, indicative of Romano-British burial practice and the Romanised cultural practices of the local population during the Roman period in Wales. Its presence in the region demonstrates the extent of Roman influence in what is now Meirionnydd, an area otherwise characterised by limited Roman settlement infrastructure. The stone's relocation to the church reflects the common practice of incorporating Romano-British carved stones into early Christian religious sites, a pattern observed throughout Wales during the medieval period.
