Waun Tincer round cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Breconshire, Wales. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial structure typical of the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as communal or individual repositories for the deceased and functioned as focal points for ritual activity. The site's designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric burial practices and ceremonial use in the Brecon Beacons region. Like other round cairns of its period, Waun Tincer would have held symbolic and social significance within its contemporary landscape, marking both the location of the dead and the territorial identity of the community that constructed it.
