Cefn Llechen Stone Circle is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual monument located in Conwy, North Wales. The site consists of a circle of standing stones whose exact diameter and number of surviving stones reflect the typical characteristics of Welsh upland stone circles, though like many such monuments it has experienced significant disturbance and loss over the centuries. The circle dates to the prehistoric period, likely between the late Neolithic and Bronze Age, when such monuments served important ceremonial and possibly funerary functions for the communities that constructed them. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Welsh heritage designation system, reflecting its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric religious and ritual practice in the Conwy region.
