Pencraig y Pistill Round Cairn is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Ceredigion, Wales. The cairn comprises a mound of stones constructed over a burial deposit, consistent with the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in Wales during the third and second millennia before Christ. As a round cairn, it represents a form of monumental burial architecture distinct from the earlier passage graves and long cairns of the Neolithic period, reflecting developments in ritual and social organisation during the later prehistoric era. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation SAM CD250.
