Ring Cairn and Round Cairn on Southern Side of Mynydd-y-Glog is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Glamorgan, Wales. The site comprises two distinct cairn structures: a ring cairn, characterised by a circular arrangement of stones enclosing a central space, and a round cairn, representing a more conventional mounded burial structure. These monuments reflect the funerary practices and ritual traditions of prehistoric communities in south Wales, with the ring cairn form being particularly distinctive of Neolithic ritual landscapes in Britain.
