Pant-y-Gadair Hut Circle Settlement is a prehistoric domestic site located in Breconshire, Wales, comprising the remains of circular or oval stone-founded structures typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns in upland Wales. The site represents evidence of sustained occupation during the Bronze Age, when pastoral and mixed subsistence economies supported dispersed communities across the Welsh highlands. The hut circles, identified through surface archaeology and earthwork survey, demonstrate the characteristic architectural tradition of the period, with stone foundations marking the perimeter of domestic structures. The settlement's location and form contribute to understanding Bronze Age land use patterns and social organisation in the Brecon Beacons region.
