Afon Hyddgen stone row is a Prehistoric ritual monument located in Wales, comprising an alignment of standing stones characteristic of Bronze Age ceremonial practice. The site forms part of the broader tradition of stone row construction evident across upland regions of Wales and Britain during the second millennium before the present, reflecting the ritual and ceremonial investment of Bronze Age communities. The stones are positioned to follow the natural topography of the Hyddgen valley, a setting typical of prehistoric ritual landscapes where monumentality was integrated with the local geography. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site preserves evidence of Prehistoric religious and funerary practice integral to understanding Bronze Age social and spiritual organisation in Wales.
