Nant y Gafod Deserted Rural Settlement is a post-medieval farmstead located in Ceredigion, Wales, situated in an upland agricultural landscape typical of rural Welsh settlement patterns. The site represents the remains of a modest farming community that subsisted through mixed agriculture and pastoral husbandry during the early modern period and beyond. Physical evidence at the site includes structural remains associated with domestic and agricultural buildings characteristic of dispersed Welsh farmsteads, reflecting the settlement strategies of rural communities in this region.
