Banc Paderau Round Cairn is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Breconshire, Wales. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed over a burial or ritual deposit, typical of prehistoric communal or individual interment practices in upland Wales. Its exact date of construction remains uncertain without excavation, though such round cairns were in use across Britain during the later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, roughly between 3000 and 1000 BCE. The monument is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Welsh heritage designation system, reflecting its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric religious and funerary practices in the Brecon Beacons region.
