Mynydd Rhiw Stone Axe Factory is a Neolithic axe production site located in Conwy, North Wales, dating to approximately 3000–2000 BC. The site represents one of Wales's most important prehistoric industrial centres, where stone axes were systematically manufactured from locally available tuff and other suitable stone materials. Evidence of extensive quarrying, working floors, and tool production debris reflects large-scale extraction and processing activities that supplied axes across a considerable geographical area. The site's archaeological significance lies in its demonstration of early specialised craft production and the development of trade networks during the Neolithic period.
