Cefn Clawdd Cairn is a prehistoric funerary and ritual monument located in Breconshire, Wales, dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. The cairn survives as a substantial stone mound which would originally have served as a communal burial monument and focal point for ritual activity within its local landscape. The monument's placement on elevated terrain reflects the deliberate siting of such structures to command views across the surrounding territory, a characteristic feature of prehistoric cairn construction in Wales. The site is protected under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monuments register as BR204, recognising its archaeological and cultural significance as evidence of prehistoric burial practices and ceremonial traditions in the upland regions of Breconshire.
