**Pont Fadog W Hut Circle** submitted by w650marion : A tree inside the (green donut?) Hut Circle shades the large banks. (Vote or comment on this photo)

A Roman / Iron age period hut circle quite close to the tarmacked path to Pont Fadog, Gwynedd. It is on the right hand side, clearly marked on the 1:25,000 OS map; but as the land slopes away to the west and the tree/scrub cover can be dense, it is not easily found. But on a sunny day early in the year, walk down towards the stone wall and there it is - a large donut of grass covered stones with a large tree inside.

Coflein calls it the Pont Fadog Hut Circle

Gwynedd Archaeological Trust calls it Hut Circle, Lletty Lloegr (the name of the house by Pont Fadog)

It is on the large scheduled monument ME128 which says "extensive multi-period settlement site with funerary monuments dating from the Neolithic period onwards"
