Mynydd Egryn Settlement is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, comprising enclosed hut circles indicative of Iron Age or Bronze Age occupation. The site forms part of the upland settlement pattern characteristic of prehistoric communities in North Wales, where such structures provided sheltered domestic spaces on high ground. The physical remains consist of circular or sub-circular stone-built structures, typical of hut circle settlements from this period, which would have housed individual family units within a larger settlement community. The site's location on Mynydd Egryn reflects the exploitation of upland resources and the establishment of permanent or semi-permanent settlements in the Welsh highlands during prehistory.
