**Ceriadae** or **Keiriadai** ([Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language): Κειριάδαι) was a [deme](/source/Deme) of [ancient Attica](/source/Ancient_Attica), of the *[phyle](/source/Phyle)* of [Hippothontis](/source/Hippothontis), sending two delegates to the [Boule](/source/Boule_(ancient_Greece)).[1] It was located outside of the walls of [Themistocles](/source/Themistocles), west of the hill of the Nymphs and west of the [Pnyx](/source/Pnyx). In this deme there was the baratharon (βάραθρον), a chasm into which criminals condemned to death were thrown.

The site of Ceriadae is west of the Pnyx.[2][3][4]
