Llandarcy Round Cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference GM291. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents the burial practices characteristic of that period, when cremated or inhumed remains were interred beneath stone mounds. The monument consists of a circular accumulation of stone typical of round cairns found across Wales and the broader British Isles, though its precise dimensions and current condition would require direct survey for detailed characterisation. Such cairns served both as repositories for the dead and as visible territorial markers within the Bronze Age landscape.
