Allt Lwyd Cairn I is a round cairn of prehistoric date located in Meirionnydd, Wales, and is recorded in the Cadw Schedule of Ancient Monuments as ME214. The monument represents a funerary and ritual structure characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice in Wales, though the exact date of construction within the prehistoric period requires further archaeological confirmation. The cairn would have served as a prominent marker within the upland landscape, functioning as both a burial monument and a place of ritual significance for the communities that constructed it. Such cairns typically comprise stone rubble heaped over an inhumed or cremated burial, though detailed excavation records for this specific site would be necessary to confirm its precise structural composition and any recovered artefactual evidence.
