Cefnfilltir Enclosed Homestead is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw reference ME098. The site comprises an enclosed hut circle, a monument type characteristic of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement patterns in upland Wales, where circular or oval structures were typically surrounded by protective earthwork boundaries. The enclosure demonstrates the domestic and agricultural organisation of prehistoric communities in this region, with the circular dwelling structure representing the primary residential unit within a defined settlement boundary. Such enclosed homesteads are important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement hierarchies, land management, and domestic life in prehistoric and early historic Wales.
