Bedd Taliesin is a Bronze Age round cairn located in Ceredigion, Wales. Constructed around 3300–1200 BC, it is a round-kerb cairn featuring a cist approximately 2 metres (6.6 ft) long[1]. The capstone has fallen, though the side stone slabs remain largely in their original positions[1]. The site is traditionally identified as the legendary grave of Taliesin, a 6th-century poet revered as the founder of the Welsh poetic tradition, though no archaeological evidence confirms this connection[1]. It is a registered Historic Monument[1].
