Hafod: Nant Bwlch-Gwallter is a post-medieval settlement site located in Ceredigion, Wales. The hafod represents a transhumant pastoral settlement, part of the upland summer grazing economy that was characteristic of Welsh mountain regions during the early modern period. The site comprises stone structures and associated features that reflect the seasonal movement of livestock and herders to higher pastures, a practice deeply embedded in the medieval and early modern Welsh agricultural system. Such hafodydd (plural) were integral to the subsistence strategies of Welsh rural communities, supporting both livestock husbandry and the production of dairy products during the summer months.
