Allt Lwyd Cairn I is a round cairn located in Meirionnydd, Wales, dating to the prehistoric period and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference ME214. The monument served a ritual and funerary function, consistent with the purpose of similar cairns constructed during the Bronze Age in Wales.
