Pen y Crogben is a round barrow situated in Monmouthshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference MG105. The monument represents a Bronze Age burial mound, typical of funerary monuments erected during the second millennium before Christ across the British landscape. The site's designation as a civil or gallows structure in medieval times reflects possible later reuse or reinterpretation of the Bronze Age earthwork, a practice not uncommon in Welsh medieval topography where ancient monuments were sometimes repurposed or renamed. The precise physical dimensions and archaeological evidence relating to any medieval gallows function at this location require reference to specialist Cadw records and excavation reports for detailed confirmation.
