Overview

History & significance

Cae-Bach Hut Circle Settlement is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Conwy, Wales, comprising remains of hut circles dating to the Iron Age or Late Bronze Age period. The site consists of at least one clearly defined circular structure with associated features characteristic of roundhouse settlement patterns common to upland regions of North Wales during this era. The settlement demonstrates the dispersed pattern of domestic occupation in the prehistoric Welsh landscape, with the hut circle constructed using stone foundations typical of Iron Age domestic architecture in the area. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement hierarchies and land use patterns in the Conwy valley during the later prehistoric period.
