Waun Llechwedd Llyfn long hut is a deserted rural settlement site in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference CD209. The structure represents Post Medieval agricultural settlement and subsistence activity in the upland regions of Wales, reflecting the pattern of dispersed pastoral farming that characterised the landscape during this period. The long hut form is typical of rural dwellings associated with pastoral economies in Welsh uplands, where such structures served both domestic and agricultural functions for their inhabitants. The site's abandonment and surviving earthworks provide evidence for understanding changing patterns of settlement and land use in early modern rural Wales.
