Two Burnt Mounds 600m ESE of Rhyd-y-Ffynnon Farm is a prehistoric domestic site of Bronze Age date located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The monument comprises two burnt mounds, archaeological features characteristic of Bronze Age settlement activity in Wales and the broader British Isles. Such mounds typically result from the repeated heating and cooling of stone used in cooking or industrial processes, with domestic occupation evidenced by associated artefacts and structural remains. The site forms part of the dispersed Bronze Age settlement pattern recorded across the Welsh landscape and contributes to understanding prehistoric domestic economy and land use in the region.
