Cwm Tywyll House Platforms is a medieval domestic settlement in Denbighshire comprising a series of earthwork platforms that represent the remains of habitation structures. The site dates to the medieval period and survives as a landscape feature characteristic of upland Welsh settlement patterns, where platforms were levelled into sloping ground to create suitable building surfaces. The physical remains consist of terrace-like earthworks that once supported timber or stone structures, typical of the dispersed settlement form found across the Welsh uplands during the medieval era. The site is recorded as a Scheduled Ancient Monument by Cadw, reflecting its archaeological significance as evidence of medieval Welsh domestic settlement and land use practices.
