Carn Cornel Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference GM275. The structure dates to the Bronze Age and represents the type of communal or individual burial cairn typical of that period in Wales. The cairn would originally have consisted of a mound of stones constructed over one or more burial deposits, though like many such monuments, its physical condition reflects the effects of considerable time and weathering. Such round cairns functioned as focal points for ritual and funerary practices within prehistoric Welsh communities, serving purposes both as burial places and as enduring markers within the landscape.
