Afon Goch Deserted Rural Settlement is a post-medieval domestic site located in Meirionnydd, Wales, comprising the remains of a longhouse structure dating to the early modern period. The settlement represents a typical example of rural habitation from this era, when such buildings served as combined domestic and agricultural spaces for tenant farmers and smallholders in upland Welsh communities. The site's designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its value as evidence of settlement patterns and vernacular building practices during the post-medieval transition in the region. The structure's abandonment and subsequent deterioration make it an important archaeological resource for understanding changing patterns of rural occupation and land use in Meirionnydd.
