Afon Cynfal Deserted Rural Settlement is a post-medieval domestic settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, comprising rectangular hut structures typical of upland rural habitation in the region. The settlement represents the material remains of small-scale agricultural occupation during the post-medieval and modern periods, when such dispersed homestead arrangements were characteristic of Welsh moorland and valley communities. The rectangular stone structures indicate domestic organization and building practices consistent with the economic and social patterns of rural Welsh settlements during this era.
