Braich y Cornel Hut Circle Settlement and Field System is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Conwy, Wales, consisting of circular stone-built structures characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation. The site comprises multiple hut circles arranged across the landscape, along with associated field systems that demonstrate the integration of settlement and agricultural practice typical of later prehistoric communities in upland Wales. The stone foundations and circular ground plans are consistent with dwelling structures of the later Bronze Age through Iron Age period, though precise dating requires archaeological investigation. The field systems surrounding the huts indicate organised land management and pastoral or agricultural activity contemporaneous with habitation, reflecting the economic strategies of prehistoric Welsh communities.
