Perth-Hir House (Remains of) is a post-medieval and modern domestic structure located in Wales and protected by Cadw under reference MM144. The site sits upon Lower Devonian bedrock, predominantly composed of mudstone, siltstone and sandstone laid down during the Early Devonian period. This geological foundation provided the primary building material readily available to successive occupants of the site.
The house represents the settlement patterns and domestic architecture of Wales during the post-medieval period and later centuries. The surviving remains document the transition from medieval to early modern domestic life in the Welsh countryside, constructed from the local stone resources that characterised building practices in the region during this era.
Today, the remains of Perth-Hir House form part of the archaeological record of Welsh domestic settlement. The site's protection by Cadw ensures the preservation of this record for future study and understanding of rural Welsh habitation and the ways in which local geological resources shaped the development and character of residential structures in the area.
