Bedd Taliesin, Bronze Age burial site near Talybont, Wales
The stone burial chamber features a central cist measuring 2 meters in length, with several stone slabs arranged around a fallen capstone.
Dating from 2000-700 BCE, this circular cairn received its name from Taliesin, a renowned 6th-century Welsh poet of the medieval period.
Local traditions maintain that individuals who spend one night at the burial mound will wake up either as accomplished poets or mentally disturbed.
The archaeological monument stands on elevated ground with clear views of the surrounding countryside, accessible through marked pathways from nearby roads.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed human remains, including a skull within the stone chamber, suggesting its use for important ceremonial burials.
