Parc le Breos Chambered Tomb is a Neolithic long cairn located in the Gower Peninsula, Swansea, Wales, dating to approximately 3500–3000 BCE. The monument consists of a stone-built chambered structure within an elongated mound, constructed in the characteristic megalithic style of the Welsh Neolithic period. Excavations have revealed human remains and artefacts indicating its use as a communal burial place over an extended period, reflecting the ritual and funerary practices of early farming communities in prehistoric Wales.
