Hut Circle Settlement at Nant Bochllwyd is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Conwy, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (CN269). The site comprises hut circles typical of Bronze Age occupation in upland Wales, representing evidence of pastoral and domestic activity during the prehistoric period. The settlement's location in the Nant Bochllwyd valley reflects the pattern of upland settlement exploitation characteristic of Bronze Age communities in North Wales, where such sites document the exploitation of marginal agricultural land. The physical remains consist of the degraded but identifiable circular stone foundations of domestic structures, which provide archaeological testimony to the material culture and settlement strategies of prehistoric Welsh highland populations.
