Bachgen Carreg Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM234. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a burial tradition characteristic of that period, when such stone-built mounds served as repositories for the deceased and functioned within broader ritual and ceremonial practices of early British communities. The monument's physical form consists of accumulated stone that would originally have been more prominent than its current condition suggests, typical of round cairns constructed across upland and lowland regions of Wales during the second millennium BC.
