Hafod Eidos is a deserted rural settlement in Ceredigion, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM CD179. The site represents the archaeological remains of a medieval upland settlement, typical of the pastoral farming communities that occupied the Welsh countryside during the medieval period. The physical character of the monument comprises the earthwork remains of structures and associated field systems that reflect the patterns of transhumance agriculture practised in this region, whereby communities moved livestock seasonally between lowland and upland pastures. The settlement's abandonment reflects broader patterns of rural depopulation and land-use change that affected upland Welsh communities, particularly from the early modern period onwards.
