Lettypeod Deserted Rural Settlement is a medieval domestic site located in Radnorshire, Wales, consisting of house platforms and associated field systems that reflect the settlement patterns of the Welsh uplands. The site dates to the medieval period and represents the archaeological remains of a small rural community that was eventually abandoned, leaving behind earthwork evidence of domestic occupation in the form of terraced platforms where dwellings once stood. Such deserted settlements in Radnorshire are characteristic of medieval Welsh settlement organisation, with families establishing homesteads in upland areas suited to pastoral agriculture and stock management. The site is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, recognising its value for understanding medieval rural settlement, land use, and the social structure of medieval Wales.
