Hut Circle West of Pen-y-Bryn is a prehistoric domestic structure located in Meirionnydd, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference ME160. The monument comprises an unenclosed hut circle, a settlement form characteristic of Bronze Age and Iron Age communities in Wales, though its precise dating requires archaeological investigation. The structure represents the remains of a single dwelling unit from the prehistoric period, likely dating to the later Bronze Age or Iron Age, when such circular or sub-circular domestic dwellings were the predominant form of residential architecture in upland Welsh regions. The site contributes to understanding settlement patterns and domestic life among prehistoric populations of medieval Wales and the broader British landscape.
