Overview

History & significance

Garreg Las Hut Group is a prehistoric domestic settlement comprising enclosed hut circles located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The site represents evidence of Iron Age or Late Bronze Age settlement patterns in South Wales, periods during which such circular domestic structures formed the basis of rural communities across the region. The hut circles themselves survive as earthwork features, their circular forms and associated enclosures preserving the ground plan of what would have been timber-framed dwellings with central hearths. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site contributes to understanding of prehistoric settlement hierarchy and domestic organisation in medieval Wales's pre-Roman landscape.
