Pen y lan Roman Site is a Roman civil settlement and settlement complex located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM296. The site represents evidence of Roman-period occupation and activity in the Welsh interior, reflecting the military and administrative presence established following the Roman conquest of Britain. Physical remains at the site indicate settlement structures consistent with the Roman period, though the precise chronology and extent of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. The site contributes to understanding of Roman settlement patterns beyond the major forts and villas of Roman Britain, particularly in areas of Wales where archaeological evidence of civilian activity is less abundant.
