Wernlas hut circle is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference Cadw SAM GM562. The site comprises a hut circle, a form of Iron Age or Bronze Age domestic structure commonly found across upland Wales, representing the material evidence of domestic life during the pre-Roman period. The circular or sub-circular structure would have served as a dwelling, with its preserved earthwork remains providing archaeological evidence of settlement patterns and construction techniques characteristic of prehistoric Welsh communities. Such hut circles are typically associated with pastoral economies adapted to upland terrain, and their study contributes to understanding settlement distribution and domestic organisation in prehistoric Britain.
