Overview

History & significance

Hafod Frith is a post-medieval and modern deserted rural settlement located in Ceredigion, Wales. The site represents a dispersed settlement pattern typical of upland pastoral regions in Wales, where small farmsteads and dwellings were established to exploit marginal agricultural land. The settlement's remains, registered as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference CD175, provide evidence of the domestic occupation and land-use practices that characterised rural communities in this area during the post-medieval period and into modern times. As a deserted settlement, Hafod Frith documents the historical processes of rural depopulation and agricultural change that affected upland Welsh communities, particularly from the nineteenth century onwards.
