New Radnor Medieval Town: South West Quadrant is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the south-western sector of a medieval planned town in Radnorshire, Wales. The town was founded in the late thirteenth century, likely in the 1280s, as part of the English colonial strategy following the conquest of Wales under Edward I. The south-west quadrant preserves archaeological and topographical evidence of the town's original grid-pattern layout, including plot boundaries and street lines that remain visible in the modern landscape and subsurface deposits. The monument represents an important example of medieval urban planning characteristic of the Edwardian castle towns and represents a significant phase in the medieval settlement history of the Welsh borderlands.
