Two Cooking Mounds E of Ty'n-y-Pwll is a prehistoric burnt mound located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM365. Burnt mounds, also known as cooking mounds, are characteristic features of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement, typically comprising accumulated layers of fire-cracked stone, charcoal, and domestic debris. These mounds represent the remains of communal cooking or heating activities, where heated stones were used in wooden or hide-lined troughs to heat water for cooking, brewing, or bathing purposes. The site contributes to our understanding of domestic practices and resource management in prehistoric Wales during periods when such cooking facilities served as focal points of settlement activity.
