Llethr Bryn y Gorlan Platform is a medieval domestic platform settlement located in Ceredigion, Wales. The site comprises an earthwork platform typical of medieval Welsh upland settlement patterns, where such terraced features served as the foundations for domestic structures in areas unsuitable for conventional building. The platform dates to the medieval period and represents the kind of small-scale pastoral settlement that characterised the Welsh countryside during this era. As a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation SAM CD196, it retains archaeological significance for understanding medieval Welsh settlement organisation and land use in the upland regions of Ceredigion.
