Rhiw Arw cairn is a round cairn located in Wales, dating to the prehistoric period and designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MM299. The monument represents a form of funerary and ritual architecture typical of Bronze Age burial practices, constructed as a mounded heap of stone to cover and mark an interment or ceremonial deposit. Its physical form as a round cairn indicates its function within the prehistoric religious and mortuary landscape, serving both as a practical burial structure and as a visible marker in the contemporary topography. Such cairns are significant archaeological features that contribute to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns, ritual practices, and the organisation of sacred space in the Welsh landscape.
