Carn Pantmaenllwyd is a Bronze Age ring cairn located in Breconshire, Wales, representing a form of ritual or funerary monument characteristic of the later prehistoric period. The site consists of a circular arrangement of stones defining a ring-shaped structure, a monument type that appears to have served ceremonial or burial functions during the Bronze Age. Ring cairns of this period typically featured an outer stone circle with an open or low central area, distinguishing them from the mounded cairns more commonly associated with earlier Neolithic burial practices. The monument remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age ritual practice in the Brecon Beacons region.
