Fron-Galed Homestead is a prehistoric enclosed hut circle located in Meirionnydd, Wales, and forms part of the archaeological record of Iron Age settlement in upland Wales. The site consists of a substantial circular or sub-circular earthwork structure typical of domestic Iron Age settlement, with evidence of enclosure that suggests organised occupation and land management practices of the period. The homestead represents the material culture and settlement patterns of communities inhabiting the Welsh uplands during the later prehistory of Britain, when such enclosed hut circles served as the focus of household and pastoral activity.
