Abercynafon Neolithic Site is a Neolithic waterlogged deposit located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference BR249. The site preserves organic remains within waterlogged contexts, conditions which have enabled the survival of materials that typically decompose in drier archaeological deposits. Such waterlogged prehistoric domestic sites are of considerable significance for understanding Neolithic settlement patterns, subsistence practices, and material culture in Wales, as the anaerobic environment permits the recovery of wooden artefacts, food remains, and other perishable evidence rarely encountered at other sites from this period.
