Hut Circle Settlement in Cwm Gelli Iago (West) is a prehistoric unenclosed settlement comprising domestic hut circles located in Conwy, North Wales. The site represents evidence of Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation, periods during which such circular or sub-circular structures served as permanent or semi-permanent dwellings for rural communities. The settlement's unenclosed character suggests a domestic rather than defensive function, typical of dispersed settlement patterns in upland Welsh regions during prehistory. The site is designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw record (CN253), recognising its archaeological significance for understanding prehistoric settlement, economy, and social organisation in the Welsh landscape.
