Garnfawr Deserted Rural Settlement is a medieval domestic site in Radnorshire, Wales, comprising the remains of a rectangular hut structure. The settlement represents the archaeological evidence of rural habitation from the medieval period, reflecting patterns of dispersed settlement characteristic of upland Welsh communities. The rectangular plan of the principal structure is consistent with domestic building practices of medieval Wales, where such simple stone or turf-built dwellings served as the primary residences of farming households. The site's designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw system (reference RD184) recognises its importance for understanding medieval settlement patterns and domestic life in the rural uplands of Radnorshire.
