Unenclosed Hut Circle Settlement at Bryn Derw is a prehistoric domestic settlement comprising multiple hut circles located in Meirionnydd, Wales. The site dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of unenclosed settlement typical of upland communities in prehistoric Wales, where domestic structures were dispersed without surrounding defensive or boundary works. The hut circles survive as earthwork features in the landscape, though like many such settlements the precise dating and extent of occupation phases remain subjects of archaeological study. As a scheduled ancient monument under the care of Cadw, the site contributes to understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and domestic life in the Welsh uplands.
