Carn Wen Round Barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The barrow survives as a prominent earthwork mound with associated stone elements, characteristic of round barrows constructed during the later prehistoric period as burial monuments. Such monuments served both as functional repositories for the deceased and as visible territorial markers within the landscape, reflecting the ritual and social importance of burial practices in prehistoric Welsh communities. The site remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding funerary traditions and landscape organisation in Carmarthenshire during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
