Ffrith-Uchaf Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference DE118. The structure dates to the Bronze Age and represents the tradition of round cairn construction characteristic of that period across Wales and the broader British landscape. The cairn would have served as a burial monument, likely containing cremated or inhumed remains beneath its stacked stone construction, reflecting the ritual and funerary practices of Bronze Age communities. Such monuments are significant archaeological records of prehistoric settlement patterns, religious belief systems, and the organisation of Bronze Age society in upland Welsh regions.
