Ffynnon Las Round Cairn I is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument situated in Breconshire, Wales. The cairn consists of stones heaped to form a roughly circular mound, a common funerary practice across prehistoric Britain and particularly characteristic of upland Welsh regions during these periods. Such round cairns typically served as communal or individual burial structures and may have held ritual significance beyond their primary function as repositories for the dead. The site's designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its importance to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary practices in the Brecon Beacons area.
