Bonw Burial Mound is an Early Medieval funerary monument located in Anglesey, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference AN160. The mound represents a burial practice consistent with Early Medieval Welsh traditions, when such earthen tumuli served as focal points for depositing the dead and marking significant territorial or familial importance. Its precise chronology within the Early Medieval period and the specific archaeological evidence recovered from the site would require consultation of primary excavation records and Cadw's detailed monument documentation. The monument's survival as a recognisable earthwork testifies to the persistence of funerary mound construction in medieval Wales alongside evolving Christian burial practices.
