Two Cairns on Mynydd Bach is a round cairn of Neolithic or Bronze Age date situated on moorland in Ceredigion, Wales. The monument consists of two distinct stone cairns which may represent separate phases of construction or ritual use, though the precise relationship between them remains uncertain. Round cairns of this type typically served funerary and ritual functions during the prehistoric period, with burials and cremations deposited within or beneath the stone structures. The site's location on high moorland is characteristic of many Welsh prehistoric cairns, and it remains a significant example of the funerary monument tradition in the region.
