Hut Enclosure and Early Field System South of Mynydd Graigwen is a prehistoric agricultural landscape in Meirionnydd, Wales, comprising domestic and cultivation remains of Bronze Age or Iron Age date. The site consists of a circular or sub-circular hut enclosure associated with an early field system, representing evidence of pastoral and arable subsistence practices typical of upland Welsh communities during the later prehistoric period. The physical remains include the rubble foundations of the hut structure and surviving field boundaries demarcating small plots, which collectively demonstrate the organization of settlement and land use in this highland terrain.
