Hafod-y-Wern Long Hut is a medieval rectangular structure located in Conwy, Wales, recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monuments register as CN307. The hut represents a form of domestic settlement typical of upland pastoral communities in medieval Wales, where such rectangular buildings served as seasonal or permanent dwellings for shepherds and farmers engaged in transhumance practices. The monument survives as a low earthwork showing the characteristic elongated ground plan of a long hut, a building type well-attested in the Welsh archaeological record from the medieval period onwards. Its designation reflects the importance of such vernacular structures in understanding the settlement patterns and subsistence strategies of rural medieval Welsh communities.
