Moel y Plas Round Barrow is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Denbighshire, Wales, dating to the Bronze Age. The barrow represents a form of burial practice characteristic of the second millennium before the present, when such earthen mounds served as focal points for ritual activity and the interment of the dead. The monument's physical form consists of a raised circular mound, though its precise dimensions and state of preservation reflect the effects of weathering and land use over more than three thousand years. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, it contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practices in North Wales and demonstrates the territorial and social importance of burial sites in the prehistoric landscape.
