Bailey Bach (also Baily Bach) at Baily Brith and Merthyr Cynog, east of the road B4520 in Powys (Brecknockshire) in Wales is at least partially natural oval tumulus with remnants of a stone box or a chamber tomb ( English chambered tomb ), north of the Brecon Beacons National Parks .

The capstone measures approximately 2.9 × 1.45 m and is 0.5 m thick. It lies diagonally on two rectangular supporting stones with a side length of about 0.4 m and the long hill of about 42.0 × 14.0 m and forms a chamber of about 1.5 × 1.0 m below it.
