Blaen Camddwr Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference CD244. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a typical example of the round cairn tradition that characterised burial practices across upland Wales during this period. The monument survives as a substantial stone mound, constructed to cover and commemorate burials beneath, and its presence reflects the ritual and ceremonial importance of funerary practices in prehistoric Welsh communities. Such monuments served both as permanent markers of burial sites and as visible expressions of the status and identity of those interred within them.
