Hut Circle Settlement at Pen-y-Caerau is a prehistoric domestic settlement comprising unenclosed hut circles located in Conwy, Wales. The site dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of settlement typical of upland areas in Wales during this period, when dispersed domestic occupation was common across the landscape. The hut circles survive as circular or sub-circular earthworks, with the characteristic shallow depressions and banks that mark the remains of prehistoric roundhouses. This settlement form demonstrates the domestic and agricultural practices of Bronze Age communities in north Wales and contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns in the region.
