Ring Cairn on Craig Fawr is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Wales and recorded on the Cadw Schedule of Ancient Monuments as GM380. The site consists of a ring cairn, a form of burial structure characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, comprising a circular arrangement of stones that typically enclosed a central burial area or cremation deposit. Such monuments represent important evidence of ritual practices and funerary customs among prehistoric Welsh communities, reflecting both social organisation and beliefs concerning the treatment of the dead. The exposed upland location on Craig Fawr would have made the site a visually prominent landmark in the prehistoric landscape.
