Llethr Bryn y Gorlan Platform is a medieval domestic house platform situated in Ceredigion, Wales. The site comprises an earthwork platform characteristic of upland settlement patterns in medieval Wales, where such levelled surfaces served as foundations for timber or stone domestic structures. The platform's construction and use reflect the medieval period's exploitation of marginal upland terrain in the region, representing a form of dispersed settlement typical of Welsh rural communities. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site contributes to understanding the settlement archaeology and domestic organisation of medieval Ceredigion.
