Hut Circle Settlement East of Cefn Bifor is a prehistoric unenclosed settlement comprising domestic hut circles located in Conwy, Wales. The site, recorded under Cadw Schedule Ancient Monument designation CN273, represents Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation, typical of the scattered domestic settlements that characterised upland Welsh landscapes during these periods. The hut circles are visible as low circular or sub-circular earthwork features, representing the structural footprints of roundhouses whose walls and floors have subsided over millennia. Such settlements evidence the pastoral and agricultural economy of prehistoric Welsh communities, with individual hut circles often arranged without formal defensive enclosure, suggesting occupation by farming households rather than nucleated villages.
