Crug Glas Round Barrow is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM CM113. The barrow dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of burial practice characteristic of that period, when communal or individual interments were marked by earthen mounds constructed over the deceased and grave goods. The monument survives as a round barrow, a distinctive mounded earthwork that would originally have been more prominent than its current condition suggests. Such barrows served both as functional burial chambers and as prominent landscape markers that reinforced the territorial and social importance of the communities that constructed them.
