Hut Circle East of Cymerau Uchaf is a prehistoric domestic structure located in Meirionnydd, Wales, and is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monuments register as ME172. The site comprises an unenclosed hut circle, a form of Bronze Age or Iron Age domestic settlement common in upland areas of Wales. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular hollow in the ground, the remains of a dwelling that would have been constructed with a timber framework and organic materials, with the hollow resulting from the accumulation of domestic debris and the decay of structural elements over time. Such hut circles represent important evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and domestic life in the Welsh uplands during the later prehistoric period.
