Tair Carn Isaf Cairns is a prehistoric round cairn located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference CM256. The site dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period and served a ritual and funerary function, typical of cairn monuments constructed across Wales during the third and second millennia before the common era. The monument consists of multiple stone mounds characteristic of burial cairns from this period, which would have contained burials and possibly served as territorial markers or communal gathering points for ritual purposes. Such cairns represent significant evidence of prehistoric mortuary practices and social organisation in medieval and early historic Wales.
