Dramatic setting for the hut circle at SH64423549. On a better day the views would be of the mountains east of Blaenau Ffestiniog and on towards Moel Siabod.

Moel y Geifr
Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork

Round house settlement to the east of Moel y Geifr, alongside the track between the Y Gyrn cairns and Bryn Cader Fader. The site consists of scattered individual hut circles to the north at SH64543572, SH64433568 and SH64423549, and a more compact enclosed courtyard group at SH64533516.

There are suggestions of fragmentary field systems around the hut circles.

Dating could be anywhere between Bronze Age and Romano-British.
