Cwm Cwareli Longhouse and Long Hut is a medieval domestic structure located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM BR282. The site comprises two related timber or stone-built structures typical of medieval Welsh upland settlement patterns, reflecting the agricultural economy and vernacular building traditions of the region during the medieval period. The longhouse form, combining human and animal accommodation under a single roof with a central passage or partition, represents a widespread domestic arrangement across medieval Wales and the broader Celtic west. The survival of these structures provides archaeological evidence for understanding medieval rural settlement organisation and building practices in the Brecon Beacons landscape.
