Abercynafon Neolithic Site is a prehistoric domestic settlement and waterlogged deposit located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference BR249. The site dates to the Neolithic period and represents evidence of early farming communities in the region. Its waterlogged nature has preserved organic remains, including wood and other perishable materials that would normally decompose, providing valuable archaeological data about Neolithic domestic life and subsistence practices. The preservation of such deposits is rare and significant for understanding the material culture and settlement patterns of prehistoric Wales during the transition to agricultural economy.
