Carn Pentyle-Hir and Adjacent Round Cairn is a Prehistoric round cairn monument located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference GM402. The site comprises a substantial cairn structure of stacked stone characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice, with an adjacent smaller cairn forming a related ceremonial or burial complex. These monuments are typical of the ritual landscape established during the Bronze Age, when such stone-built cairns served as durable markers for burial and ceremonial purposes across the upland regions of Wales. The preservation of both structures provides evidence of prehistoric funerary practices and the distribution of monumental architecture in the Welsh Bronze Age.
