Hut Circle Settlement Above Gilfach is a prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement located in Conwy, Wales, and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference CN222. The site comprises domestic structures dating to the Bronze Age, representing settlement patterns characteristic of later prehistoric communities in upland Wales. The hut circles themselves display the typical circular or sub-circular ground plans associated with Iron Age and Bronze Age dwellings, constructed through the hollowing or levelling of ground with stone foundations or walls. Such settlements are valuable archaeological evidence for understanding subsistence practices, social organisation, and territorial use of the Welsh uplands during the later prehistoric period.
