Mynydd Egryn Settlement is a prehistoric enclosed hut circle settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference ME157. The site comprises the remains of domestic structures dating to the prehistoric period, preserving evidence of early settlement patterns in upland Wales. The settlement's physical character is defined by circular or sub-circular hut circles, typical of Iron Age domestic architecture in the Welsh landscape, arranged within an enclosure that would have served both defensive and stock-management functions. Such settlements represent important archaeological evidence for understanding the organisation, economy, and subsistence practices of prehistoric communities in the Welsh uplands during the later prehistoric period.
