Hut Circle at Afon Graig Wen is a prehistoric unenclosed domestic structure located in Meirionnydd, Wales, recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation ME175. The site represents evidence of Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement in the upland regions of North Wales, periods during which such circular domestic dwellings were characteristic of rural communities. The hut circle survives as an earthwork feature, preserving the ground plan of what would have been a single domestic unit within the wider prehistoric landscape of the area. Such unenclosed hut circles, lacking surrounding defensive works or boundaries, indicate domestic rather than fortified occupation and contribute to understanding of settlement patterns and domestic life in prehistoric Wales.
