Hen Ddinbych Circular Platforms is a medieval domestic enclosure located in Denbighshire, Wales, comprising a series of circular or oval platforms that represent the remains of a nucleated settlement. The site dates to the medieval period and reflects the settlement patterns characteristic of rural Welsh communities during the Middle Ages. The platforms indicate the former positions of dwelling structures, likely roundhouses or post-medieval farmsteads, arranged within a defined enclosure boundary. This form of settlement archaeology is significant for understanding domestic organisation and land use in medieval Wales, demonstrating the continuity and adaptation of settlement practices across the medieval period.
