Hut Group West of Cwm Mawr is a Prehistoric domestic settlement located in Conwy, Wales, comprising a cluster of hut circles that represent Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation of the upland landscape. The site consists of multiple circular or sub-circular stone-founded structures typical of prehistoric domestic architecture in Wales, where families would have lived in these roundhouses during the later prehistory of Britain. The settlement's location in the Cwm Mawr area reflects the Bronze and Iron Age exploitation of marginal upland terrain for pastoral and mixed subsistence economies. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site preserves evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and domestic life in the Welsh uplands during the later prehistoric period.
