Llanbedr Hill Platform House is a post-medieval domestic structure located in Radnorshire, Wales, situated on an artificially levelled platform that characterises the building type. The platform house represents a distinctive Welsh building tradition, wherein a level terrace was cut into sloping ground to accommodate a dwelling, a practice particularly common in upland areas where suitable flat building land was scarce. The structure dates to the post-medieval period and reflects the practical domestic architecture of rural Welsh communities adapting to challenging topography. The site is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument register as RD181.
