Hut Circle Settlement and Rectangular Hut North of Hebron Station is a prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement located in Wales. The monument comprises scattered domestic structures characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation, with evidence of both circular and rectangular building forms. Such settlements typically represent permanent or semi-permanent pastoral communities, with the variety of hut types suggesting adaptation to local conditions or use across different periods.
The site sits upon bedrock of Upper Cambrian age, including Tremadoc strata formed during the Tremadocian period. This geology comprises interbedded sandstone and conglomerate, a relatively stable foundation that would have supported timber-framed construction typical of prehistoric domestic buildings. The local stone resources available from this bedrock would have provided material for post-sockets, hearths and structural elements.
The settlement is protected as a scheduled monument under Cadw, the heritage monuments agency for Wales, under reference CN288. This designation recognises the site's archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and subsistence strategies. The combination of circular and rectangular structures provides valuable information about building practices and the development of domestic architecture during Wales's prehistory.
