Bwlch Sych round cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MG315. The cairn belongs to the Bronze Age period and represents the burial practices typical of that era, when circular stone mounds served as communal or individual interment sites across the Welsh landscape. The monument's physical form consists of a mounded accumulation of stones, characteristic of round cairns constructed during the second and early first millennia before the Common Era. Such cairns functioned as focal points for ritual observance and commemoration of the dead within their local communities.
