Two Round Cairns on y Gamriw is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Breconshire, Wales. The site comprises two Bronze Age round cairns, constructed as burial monuments during the second millennium BCE. These earthen and stone mounds represent characteristic examples of Bronze Age funerary practice in upland South Wales, reflecting the ritual and commemorative practices of communities during this period. The monument's location on elevated terrain reflects the Bronze Age preference for positioning burial cairns in prominent landscape positions, a pattern consistent with other contemporary monuments across the Welsh uplands.
