Abstract: The Brenig Valley contains a notable cemetery of eleven Early Bronze Age burial monuments, all of which were fully excavated prior to flooding by a reservoir. They encompass a variety of types of monument, straightforward turf-built barrows with central burials and stake circles; a large platform cairn, a ring cairn; and small stone cairns. Mesolithic material was also found, as well as a cairn field; a Middle Bronze Age wooden house and a medieval hafod of several houses.
