Nant y Foel long hut is a Post Medieval deserted rural settlement located in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference DE298. The site comprises the remains of a long hut, a building type characteristic of upland pastoral settlements in Wales during the Post Medieval period. The structure reflects the subsistence agriculture and herding practices that sustained communities in this region, with its physical layout and construction typical of dwellings designed to accommodate both domestic and agricultural functions within a single elongated building. The abandonment of the settlement is consistent with broader patterns of rural depopulation and agricultural change in the Welsh uplands during the Modern period.
