Ffridd-y-Fedw Platform House is a medieval domestic structure located in Conwy, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference CN305. The site comprises a platform house, a building type characteristic of upland medieval settlement in Wales, where dwellings were constructed upon artificially levelled platforms cut into sloping terrain. The structure dates to the medieval period and represents an important example of indigenous Welsh domestic architecture, distinct from the stone-built castles and fortified settlements established by English conquest. Platform houses of this type typically accommodated single families and were common throughout the Welsh uplands, providing evidence of medieval Welsh settlement patterns and land use prior to the transformations of the early modern period.
