Muriau'r Gwyddelod is a prehistoric domestic courtyard house located in Meirionnydd, Wales. The site represents a form of Iron Age settlement architecture characteristic of upland Welsh communities, featuring a circular or sub-circular arrangement of structures centred on a courtyard space. The monument survives as earthworks visible in the landscape, with wall foundations and structural remains indicating the layout of domestic occupation. Such courtyard houses provide valuable evidence for understanding settlement patterns, social organisation, and daily life among Iron Age populations in Wales during the first millennium before Christ.
