Blaen y Cylchau Deserted Rural Settlement is a post-medieval domestic settlement located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, comprising rectangular hut structures characteristic of upland pastoral communities. The site represents the material remains of rural habitation typical of the early modern period in the Welsh uplands, where such dispersed settlements served as bases for agricultural and pastoral activities. The rectangular hut form reflects building practices adapted to the harsh upland environment and available local resources. The settlement's designation as a scheduled ancient monument (SAM CM307) recognises its archaeological importance in understanding the historic settlement patterns and domestic life of rural Carmarthenshire.
