Bryn Cwmyrhiwdre Round Barrow is a prehistoric burial mound located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference Cadw SAM MG280. The site represents Bronze Age funerary practice, a period during which round barrows served as prominent monuments for elite and community burials across Britain and Wales.
