Pegwn Mawr Round Barrows is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM MG125. The site comprises round cairns typical of prehistoric burial practices in Wales, constructed during periods when ritual deposition of the dead and communal or individual interment formed central elements of religious belief and practice. The monument reflects the importance placed on commemorating the dead through substantial stone or earthen mounds, which would have served as enduring markers of ancestral significance within the landscape. Such barrows and cairns remain valuable archaeological records of Bronze Age funeral customs and the social organisation of prehistoric Welsh communities.
