Allt Fach Deserted Rural Settlement is a medieval domestic settlement located in Breconshire, Wales, and is designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference BR263. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a small rural settlement that was occupied during the medieval period, typical of the scattered farmsteads and hamlets that characterised the upland pastoral economy of medieval Wales. The physical remains visible at the site include platforms and enclosures that reflect the domestic and agricultural organisation of the settlement. Such deserted rural settlements provide important archaeological evidence for understanding the patterns of medieval settlement, land use, and subsistence practices in the Welsh uplands before abandonment or consolidation of such communities.
