Hut Circle and Field System at Craiglaseithin is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, comprising an unenclosed hut circle and associated field remains. The site dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of upland settlement typical of prehistoric communities in the Welsh hills, where pastoral and mixed agricultural practices were pursued. The hut circle itself survives as an earthwork with a roughly circular or sub-circular form, characteristic of domestic structures from this period. The presence of field systems in association with the settlement indicates organised land use and the integration of the dwelling within a broader landscape of farming activity, providing archaeological evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and subsistence strategies in this region.
