Deserted Rural Settlement South of Ffridd Olchfa is a medieval domestic settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference ME203. The site comprises the remains of stone-built structures characteristic of medieval Welsh rural habitation, reflecting the settlement patterns and domestic arrangements of the medieval period in upland areas of north Wales. The abandonment of such settlements often resulted from changes in land use, economic conditions, or population movements during the late medieval and early modern periods. The physical remains, visible as stone foundations and building debris scattered across the landscape, provide evidence of the everyday settlement archaeology of rural medieval Wales.
