Overview

History & significance

Ton Teg Hut Settlement is a prehistoric domestic site located in Breconshire, Wales, comprising house platforms dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. The settlement consists of the remains of at least one hut circle platform, representing evidence of domestic occupation during the pre-Roman Iron Age or later Bronze Age, though precise dating remains uncertain without excavation. Such hut platforms are characteristic of upland settlement in South Wales during this period, where communities adapted to challenging terrain through terraced or levelled construction. The site is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation BR407 and contributes to understanding the dispersed pattern of prehistoric rural settlement across the Brecon Beacons landscape.
