Holyhead Mountain Prehistoric Village is a Bronze Age hut circle settlement located on Holyhead Mountain in Anglesey, Wales. The site consists of multiple domestic structures arranged across the hillside, representing evidence of sustained prehistoric settlement and occupation patterns during the Bronze Age period. The hut circles remain visible as circular or oval depressions and stone foundations, providing archaeological insight into the domestic arrangements and settlement hierarchy of Bronze Age communities in north Wales. The unenclosed nature of the settlement indicates a period of relative stability when defensive fortification was not a primary concern for the inhabitants.
