Cwmblaenerw House Platforms is a medieval domestic settlement site in Radnorshire, Wales, comprising earthwork platforms that represent the footings of medieval dwellings. The site consists of house platforms typical of upland Welsh settlement patterns, where such levelled areas served as bases for timber or stone structures during the medieval period. Located in the Cwmblaenerw valley, the platforms form part of the dispersed settlement archaeology characteristic of the Welsh uplands in the medieval era. The site is of significance for understanding the pattern and nature of rural domestic occupation in medieval Radnorshire, where such platforms often represent small-scale pastoral and agricultural communities.
