Blaen Glowen Round Barrow is a prehistoric burial monument located in Ceredigion, Wales, dating to the Bronze Age. The site represents a form of funerary architecture characteristic of the second and early first millennia before Christ, when round barrows served as communal or individual burial places and functioned within the ritual and religious practices of Bronze Age communities. The barrow's physical form, typical of monuments of its class, would originally have comprised an earthen mound raised over inhumed or cremated remains, possibly accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of those interred. As a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw protection system, Blaen Glowen preserves evidence of prehistoric mortuary practice and landscape use in the upland regions of medieval Wales.
