Ancient Village or Settlement in Gwynedd
This is a large hut circle situated on the Northern slopes of the mountain Rhobell y Big. There are a number of modern homesteads in the area known collectively as Abergeirw.
The site can be accessed along a narrow lane that leads to Rhiw Felen farm.
The site comprises of a raised circular platform with the stone foundations of the walls apparent. The hut circle is 11m in diameter and the footings are raised to about 1m.
This is a rather bleak environment but the Afon Mawddach (river) meanders towards the coast in the valley below.
