Cairn 300m SE of Bryn Cau is a round cairn of prehistoric date located in Meirionnydd, Wales, and is formally designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference ME255. The monument comprises a pile of stones constructed during the Bronze Age, representing a funerary and ritual structure typical of upland Welsh cairn traditions. Such cairns served as burial monuments and may have functioned within broader ceremonial landscapes.
