Two Burnt Mounds 600m ESE of Rhyd-y-Ffynnon Farm is a Bronze Age burnt mound located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The site comprises two distinct mounds of fire-reddened stone and charred material, characteristic of prehistoric domestic burnt mounds that are widely distributed across Britain and Ireland. These monuments typically represent the refuse from repeated heating of stones in fires, often associated with domestic activities such as water heating for bathing or cooking. The site remains an important record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and domestic practices in the region, though like many burnt mounds, its precise functional interpretation continues to be refined by archaeological investigation.
