Ty'n Y Berllan Enclosed Hut Circle Settlement

An ancient settlement situated within a densely overgrown area on the northern slope of a wooded outcrop to the West of Penrhyndeudraeth. Photo: View towards the hidden settlement site. The settlement is just beyond the modern field boundary.

The site comprises the remains of several hut circles within an enclosure that dates from the first millennium BC (source Cadw). There are four hut circles linked and partially enclosed by boundary walls. I was able to clear enough of the undergrowth to reveal and measure two of the four hut circles. However, I could also identify the other two within the undergrowth.

One of the revealed hut circles was in a good state of preservation. The interior diameter of this dwelling was 7m and the walls reached 1m in height. The second hut circle was also 7m in diameter but the walls were lower. I noted an entrance to the enclosure flanked by large standing stones.

The site is a scheduled monument.
