Overview

History & significance

Ty-Lettice Round Barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Radnorshire, Wales, and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection. The barrow represents a characteristic form of burial construction from the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds served as communal or elite sepulchral monuments across the Welsh landscape. As a round barrow, the monument would originally have comprised an earthen mound raised over inhumed or cremated human remains, potentially with associated grave goods. The site contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the upland regions of Wales during the Bronze Age.
