Llanbedr Hill Cist Cairn is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Radnorshire, Wales, comprising a round cairn constructed from stone rubble with an internal cist burial chamber. The monument represents the ritual burial practices of prehistoric communities in the Welsh borderlands, where cairn construction served both as a means of marking the dead and asserting territorial presence across the upland landscape. The cist structure would have contained inhumation or cremation deposits, typical of funerary deposits during these periods. The site is protected under the Cadw register as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric mortuary behaviour and monument-building in Radnorshire.
