Ffynnon Beuno Cave is a prehistoric rock shelter located near Bodfari in Flintshire, North Wales, situated within a limestone outcrop that overlooks the River Clwyd valley. The site has yielded evidence of human occupation spanning the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, making it significant for understanding early post-glacial settlement patterns in Wales. Excavations have recovered stone tools and other artefactual material consistent with hunter-gatherer activity, though the cave's natural morphology and accessibility have been modified by both natural processes and human intervention over millennia. The site's designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument reflects its archaeological importance as a record of early human adaptation and habitation in the North Welsh landscape.
