That is a very unusual way to create a barrier to road traffic, it is made up of three stockless anchors and several lengths of anchor chain - the vertical sections have been welded into position.
It's on the road by the Harbour Commissioners [?] sheds, just along from the Castle in Caernarfon and opposite the railway station.
