Cwm-piban Platform House is a Medieval domestic platform house located in Radnorshire, Wales. The site comprises an earthwork platform characteristic of late Medieval settlement patterns in upland Wales, dating to the later Medieval period. Platform houses of this type represent a distinctive Welsh building tradition, with the levelled platform providing the foundation for a timber-framed or stone structure, adapted to challenging topography. The monument's survival as an archaeological earthwork contributes to understanding the distribution and form of rural domestic settlement in Medieval Radnorshire.
