Bryn-Glas Roman Signal Station is a Roman communications installation located in Conwy, Wales, dating to the Roman occupation period. The site forms part of the Roman military infrastructure that facilitated command and control across the garrison network in North Wales, particularly in connection with the nearby fort at Caernarfon and the broader strategic communications system of Roman Britain. The station's elevated position on Bryn-Glas would have been strategically chosen to provide visual line-of-sight contact with other signal stations and military installations across the region. The remains comprise earthwork features consistent with a small signalling post, though the site's precise chronology and detailed structural character require further archaeological investigation to establish the full extent of its Roman-period use.
