Enclosed Hut Circle Settlement North of Coed Gwlyb is a prehistoric enclosed hut circle settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, and scheduled as an ancient monument under Cadw reference ME184. The settlement comprises domestic structures characteristic of Iron Age or Romano-British occupation, with the defining feature of an enclosing earthwork that would have served defensive or stock-control purposes. The hut circles themselves represent the remains of roundhouses typical of prehistoric Welsh upland communities, though the precise dating and sequence of occupation remain subjects for further archaeological investigation. This monument exemplifies the settlement patterns of prehistoric and protohistoric Wales, where enclosed settlements were distributed across the moorland and hill country of Snowdonia.
