Bedd Taliesin is the listed remnant of a Bronze Age round cairn from the 2nd millennium BC. BC, which contains a stone box about 2.0 m long . The side panels of the box are still in place , but the capstone has been raised, is crooked and has been jacked up.

Apart from the name, the Cairn has no proven connection with the historical bard Taliesin , (also Taliessin) from the 6th century. He is considered to be the author of the oldest surviving works in the Welsh language and the founder of the Welsh poetic tradition. His work includes poems of praise to the rulers of the early Welsh empires of Elmet , Powys and Rheged .
