Llangynidr Deserted Medieval Village is a Medieval Domestic settlement located in Breconshire, Wales, representing a rural community that was occupied during the Medieval period before eventual desertion. The site comprises archaeological remains indicative of domestic occupation and settlement patterns characteristic of Medieval Welsh rural life. The village's abandonment reflects wider demographic and economic shifts that affected settlement distribution across Wales during the late Medieval and early modern periods.
