Pant-y-Gadair Hut Circle Settlement is a prehistoric domestic site located in Breconshire, Wales, comprising the remains of one or more hut circles typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns in upland Wales. The site represents evidence of sustained occupation during the Bronze Age, when such circular stone-built or stone-founded structures served as the primary domestic dwellings across the Welsh uplands. The hut circle remains survive as low stony banks that once formed the walls of these roundhouses, preserving important archaeological evidence of domestic life, settlement organisation, and land use practices in prehistoric Wales. The monument is protected under the Cadw scheduled ancient monuments register, reflecting its significance to understanding Bronze Age settlement and subsistence economies in the Brecon Beacons region.
