Tredegar Ironworks Cholera Cemetery is a Post-Medieval burial ground located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM MM287) by Cadw. The cemetery was established in response to cholera outbreaks that affected the industrial population of the Tredegar ironworks during the nineteenth century, reflecting the public health crises accompanying rapid industrial expansion and urbanisation. It serves as a material record of mortality patterns and community response to epidemic disease in the industrial period. The site preserves evidence of burial practices and the social impact of cholera on workers and their families in one of Wales's major iron production centres.
