Cwm-piban Platform House is a medieval domestic platform house located in Radnorshire, Wales. The site consists of a levelled platform cut into the hillside, a characteristic feature of upland settlement construction in medieval Wales where such artificial foundations provided stable building ground on sloping terrain. Platform houses of this type are typically dated to the medieval period and represent an important class of rural domestic settlement evidence in the Welsh uplands, reflecting the adaptation of settlement practices to challenging topography. The site's designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Cadw SAM RD188) recognises its archaeological significance as a surviving example of medieval domestic architecture and settlement pattern in the region.
