Esgair Naint is a deserted rural settlement located in Ceredigion, Wales, dating to the post-medieval and modern periods. The site comprises the remains of domestic structures characteristic of the upland pastoral settlements that developed across this region during the later centuries of Welsh rural occupation. Like many such settlements in the Ceredigion hills, Esgair Naint was eventually abandoned as patterns of land use and agricultural practice shifted, leaving behind physical evidence of the modest dwellings and associated features that once comprised working farmsteads. The settlement is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation system, recognising its importance to understanding the historical development of rural Welsh communities.
