Coed Ddu house platforms and enclosure is a medieval settlement site located in Wales, comprising the earthwork remains of domestic structures and their associated agricultural landscape. The site consists of house platforms, the levelled terraces upon which medieval dwellings were constructed, together with an enclosure that likely served both defensive and stock-management functions typical of upland Welsh settlements. Dating to the medieval period, such sites provide archaeological evidence of settlement patterns and subsistence practices in rural Wales during this era. The physical remains, preserved as earthworks, represent the domestic and economic organisation of a medieval Welsh community engaged in mixed agriculture and pastoral husbandry.
