Mynydd Llansadwrn ring cairn is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a circular or roughly circular arrangement of stone with a central hollow or depression, characteristic of ring cairn construction in the upland regions of South Wales. Ring cairns of this type are thought to represent a distinct funerary tradition, often associated with cremation burial practices and ritual activity during the Bronze Age period. The site's location on upland terrain reflects the widespread distribution of such monuments across the Welsh landscape during prehistory, forming part of the broader archaeological record of ritual and mortuary practices in early Bronze Age society.
