Hut Circle near Gerddi Bluog is a prehistoric domestic structure located in Meirionnydd, Wales, and represents evidence of Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement in the region. The monument survives as an unenclosed hut circle, a characteristic domestic form of these periods consisting of a roughly circular or oval depression marking the former location of a timber or stone roundhouse. Such structures typically contained a central hearth and accommodated a single household unit, and their distribution across the Welsh uplands indicates patterns of pastoral and mixed subsistence farming during the Iron Age. The site's survival as an earthwork feature contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement hierarchies and land use in the upland zones of medieval Wales.
