Medieval Settlement on Penybont Common is a deserted rural settlement located in Radnorshire, Wales, dating to the medieval period. The site consists of the physical remains of domestic structures characteristic of medieval settlement patterns in the upland regions of central Wales. Such settlements reflect the economic organisation and land use practices of medieval Welsh communities, typically comprising scattered homesteads and associated field systems adapted to moorland and marginal agricultural terrain.
