Llyn Eiddew Bach Round Cairns is a kerb cairn situated in Meirionnydd, Wales, belonging to the prehistoric period and serving religious, ritual and funerary functions. The monument comprises a circular mound of stones defined by a kerb or retaining wall of larger stones around its perimeter, a constructional method typical of Bronze Age burial cairns in Wales. Such cairns frequently contained cremated remains or inhumations beneath their stone structures, indicating their role as permanent repositories for the dead within communities that valued durable monumental commemoration. The site's designation by Cadw as a Scheduled Ancient Monument reflects its significance in understanding prehistoric funerary practices and settlement patterns in the upland regions of medieval Wales.
