Maes Coch Deserted Rural Settlement is a medieval domestic settlement located in Meirionnydd, Wales, comprising rectangular hut structures typical of Welsh upland occupation during the medieval period. The site represents evidence of rural habitation and land use patterns in the Welsh hills, where such scattered settlements formed the basis of pastoral and agricultural communities. The rectangular building forms suggest occupation during the medieval centuries, when such structures served as domestic dwellings for those engaged in farming and herding in the marginal upland terrain of north Wales.
