Hut Circle Settlement at Gelli Gonan is a prehistoric domestic settlement comprising unenclosed hut circles located in Meirionnydd, Wales. The site represents Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation, when such circular or sub-circular structures served as dwellings for rural communities in upland regions of Wales. The hut circles survive as earthwork features, typically appearing as depressions or platforms in the landscape that mark the former positions of timber and stone roundhouses. Such settlements provide evidence of domestic life and land use patterns in prehistoric Wales, contributing to understanding of settlement distribution and subsistence practices during the later prehistory of the region.
