Pen y Crogben Round Barrow is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM MG105. The site represents a round barrow of Bronze Age date, a common burial form across Britain during this period. Such monuments typically comprise an earthen mound constructed over cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased. The designation as a civil or gallows structure in the monument record may reflect later reuse or reinterpretation of the site, though the primary archaeological evidence points to its origin as a burial monument of the second millennium BC.
