Cefn Banog Ancient Village is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Denbighshire, Wales, comprising hut circles that represent evidence of Iron Age or Bronze Age occupation. The site consists of circular or oval stone-built structures characteristic of upland settlement patterns in Wales during the later prehistoric period. These hut circles reflect the domestic arrangements and land use practices of prehistoric communities in the region, with the stone foundations indicating permanent or semi-permanent habitation. The settlement's location on higher ground is typical of Iron Age settlement distribution in Wales and provides archaeological insight into prehistoric rural settlement hierarchies and subsistence strategies.
