Crug y Bedw is a round barrow situated south of Blaen-Rhyd-Fedw in Carmarthenshire, Wales, and dates to the prehistoric period. The monument represents evidence of Bronze Age burial and ritual practice in the region, when such earthen mounds served as repositories for the dead and focal points for ceremonial activity. The barrow's physical form consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of its type, though like many such monuments, it has been subject to erosion and disturbance over the millennia. It remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric funerary customs and settlement patterns in the Welsh landscape, now protected under Cadw's scheduling of ancient monuments.
