Y Garnedd, Hirnant is a round barrow situated in Ceredigion, Wales, forming part of the Bronze Age funerary landscape of the region. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of Bronze Age burial mounds, constructed during the second millennium BC as a ceremonial and funerary focus for ritual deposit and commemoration of the dead. Its placement in the upland terrain of the Hirnant area reflects the wider distribution of such barrows across the Welsh uplands, where they served both as burial monuments and as visible territorial markers within the prehistoric landscape. The site is officially protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation SAM CD041, recognising its archaeological significance and vulnerability to damage.
