Eliseg's Pillar and Tumulus is a prehistoric round barrow and associated stone monument in the Vale of Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales. The tumulus itself dates to the Bronze Age and represents a significant funerary and ritual site of that period. The pillar, which stands prominently upon the barrow, is a later addition erected in the ninth century, bearing an inscription that references the genealogy of the local ruler and commemorates the site's religious importance. The monument complex demonstrates the long-term ritual significance of the location, with the prehistoric earthwork being reused and marked by a substantial stone monument in the early medieval period.
