Cairn Groups on Garn Fawr is a ring cairn of prehistoric date located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The monument comprises a substantial circular or ring-form cairn, characteristic of later Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary and ritual practice in Wales. The site stands on elevated terrain, typical of prehistoric burial monuments in upland areas of southwest Wales, and represents evidence of ceremonial and mortuary activity during the prehistoric period. The ring cairn form suggests a structure with ritual or astronomical significance beyond its primary function as a burial monument, reflecting the complex religious and ceremonial practices of prehistoric Welsh communities.
