Hadfod-y-Bwlch Round Barrow is a prehistoric burial mound located in Denbighshire, Wales, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of round barrows constructed during the second millennium BCE, serving as a focal point for ritual and funerary practices of Bronze Age communities. The site's preservation and scheduled monument status reflect its archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric burial custom and social organisation in north Wales. Like other round barrows of this period, it would have functioned as a repository for cremated or inhumed remains, potentially accompanied by grave goods indicating the status of the deceased.
