Cwm Bowydd Farm Hut Circle submitted by TAlanJones : Circular enclosure or possible hut circle. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Village or Settlement in Gwynedd

This appears to be an enclosed settlement. The site is situated within a coppice at the top of a westerly sloping field. The Snowdonia Slate Trail passes to the east. The hut circle is not easily identified but there are enclosure walls that are better preserved.
