Blaen Clydach Fach platform cairn is a Prehistoric funerary monument located in Breconshire, Wales, designated under Cadw as Scheduled Ancient Monument BR349. The structure comprises a stone platform cairn, a monument type characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age burial practices in upland Wales. The site reflects the ritual and funerary traditions of prehistoric communities in the Brecon Beacons region, where elevated locations were selected for ceremonial purposes and the interment of the dead. As with many platform cairns of this period, the monument would have served both as a focal point for burial rites and as a lasting marker of ancestral significance within the landscape.
