Moel Ty-Uchaf Circles is a Bronze Age stone circle located on moorland in Meirionnydd, Gwynedd, Wales. The monument comprises two adjacent circles of standing stones positioned at approximately 400 metres elevation on the slopes of Moel Ty-Uchaf, reflecting the ritual significance of elevated locations during the Bronze Age period. The site demonstrates the characteristic layout of multi-circle complexes found in upland Wales, where such monuments served functions related to ceremonial activity, astronomical observation, and possibly funerary practice. The circles remain an important archaeological record of Bronze Age religious and ritual behaviour in north-west Wales.
