Corndon Hill Round Cairns is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located on Corndon Hill in Montgomeryshire, Wales. The site comprises multiple round cairns constructed from stones gathered across the hilltop, representing a significant ceremonial landscape that would have served both burial and ritual functions for prehistoric communities. These cairns form part of the broader pattern of cairn construction across upland Wales during the period roughly between 3000 and 1500 BCE, reflecting the monumental investment early Welsh societies placed in the commemoration of their dead. The monument remains visible today as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, preserving evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and the sacred topography of the Welsh uplands.
