Tyddyn Du Enclosed Settlement is a prehistoric domestic site located in Meirionnydd, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM ME120. The settlement comprises an enclosed hut circle dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age, representing a form of domestic occupation common across upland Wales during these periods. The site's enclosed nature suggests a deliberately demarcated domestic space, possibly indicating concerns for security or stock management characteristic of later prehistoric settlement patterns. Such hut circles form an important archaeological record of non-elite settlement organisation and subsistence practices in prehistoric Wales, contributing to understanding of domestic life in the region prior to the Roman period.
