Carnedd Howel Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Conwy, Wales, dating to the Bronze Age. The site consists of a round cairn, a burial structure constructed from stacked stone that would have served both commemorative and ritualistic functions for the prehistoric community that built it. Round cairns of this type are characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices across Wales and represent a significant development in funerary tradition from earlier Neolithic monuments. The cairn's survival to the present day contributes to understanding the distribution and character of Bronze Age funerary monuments in the Conwy region.
