Castle Bank Settlement is a post-medieval and modern deserted rural settlement located in Radnorshire, Wales. The site comprises the remains of domestic structures and associated features characteristic of upland pastoral communities that occupied the Welsh borderlands during the early modern period and later. The settlement's abandonment reflects broader patterns of rural depopulation and agricultural reorganisation that affected remote Welsh settlements from the eighteenth century onwards. The physical remains visible at the site exemplify the modest building traditions and settlement patterns of small-scale farming communities in this upland region.
