Bedd Taliesin Round Barrow is a prehistoric round cairn located in Ceredigion, Wales, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a substantial circular mound of stones constructed as a burial monument and ritual site, characteristic of funerary practice during the second millennium BCE. The site bears the name of the legendary medieval Welsh poet Taliesin, reflecting the cultural significance attributed to the location in Welsh tradition, though the actual monument predates any historical association with this figure by many centuries. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, Bedd Taliesin represents an important example of Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary architecture in the upland regions of mid-Wales.
