Garnfawr Deserted Rural Settlement is a medieval domestic site located in Radnorshire, Wales, comprising rectangular hut structures indicative of early medieval settlement patterns in the Welsh uplands. The site represents the archaeological remains of a small rural community that occupied this landscape during the medieval period, reflecting the dispersed settlement strategy characteristic of medieval Welsh pastoral society. The rectangular hut structures are consistent with domestic dwellings of the early to central medieval period, though precise dating remains dependent on archaeological investigation. The settlement's abandonment and subsequent preservation in the landscape provide valuable evidence for understanding patterns of settlement, land use, and population movement in medieval Radnorshire.
