Settlement and Field System at Bron y Foel Uchaf is a prehistoric domestic settlement comprising unenclosed hut circles located in Meirionnydd, Wales. The site, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM ME162), represents evidence of Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement patterns typical of upland Welsh communities. The unenclosed nature of the hut circles suggests a settlement organisation distinct from the more formally defended or enclosed settlements of the period, indicating a dispersed pastoral economy adapted to the moorland landscape. Associated field systems visible in the surrounding terrain provide further evidence of the agricultural and land-use practices of the prehistoric inhabitants.
