Tomen y Meirw is a round barrow located in Denbighshire, Wales, dating to the prehistoric period and designated as a monument of archaeological importance under Cadw's record system. The site represents a funerary and ritual monument of the type constructed during the Bronze Age, serving as a burial mound for cremated or inhumed remains alongside associated grave goods and ceremonial deposits. The barrow's earthwork form comprises a raised mound that would have been visible across the surrounding landscape, functioning both as a burial place and as a territorial or commemorative marker for the community that raised it. Such monuments are characteristic of prehistoric Wales and provide evidence for burial practices, social hierarchy, and religious beliefs among Bronze Age populations in the region.
