Gwern y Cleppa Burial Chamber is a Neolithic chambered long barrow located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM022. The monument represents the funerary and ritual practices of prehistoric Welsh communities during the Neolithic period, functioning as a collective burial place for multiple individuals over an extended timespan. The site comprises a stone-built chamber set within a long earthen mound, a characteristic form of megalithic architecture prevalent in Wales and across western Britain during the fourth and third millennia before the common era. The burial chamber itself would have contained the remains of the deceased, alongside grave goods and evidence of ritual activity, reflecting the spiritual beliefs and social organisation of these early farming communities.
