Cwm Rhiwiau Stone Circle is a Bronze Age ritual monument located in Wales and recorded under Cadw's scheduled ancient monument register as MG263. The circle comprises a ring of upright stones arranged in a configuration typical of Bronze Age ceremonial sites in Britain and Wales, reflecting the religious and ritual practices of prehistoric communities during the second millennium BCE. Stone circles of this period served multiple functions within their societies, functioning as gathering places for ritual activities and potentially associated with funerary practices, as evidenced by archaeological finds from comparable monuments across Wales. The site contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and the symbolic landscape of prehistoric Wales.
