Garth Hill Platform House is a medieval domestic settlement located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the reference Cadw SAM GM552. The site consists of a platform structure typical of medieval Welsh domestic architecture, where a levelled earthwork was constructed to provide a building platform on sloping terrain. Such platform houses represent an important form of rural settlement in medieval Wales, particularly among the Welsh gentry and substantial farming families during the later medieval period. The monument survives as an earthwork feature that contributes to understanding patterns of medieval settlement and domestic organisation in the Welsh landscape.
