Platform Houses on Coly Uchaf is a medieval domestic settlement comprising earthwork platforms located in Wales. The site, designated as Scheduled Ancient Monument GM320, consists of artificially levelled platforms cut into the hillside, typical of upland Welsh settlement patterns from the medieval period. Such platform houses represent a distinctive form of medieval domestic architecture adapted to steep terrain, where platforms provided level surfaces for timber or stone structures. The settlement demonstrates the organisation of rural Welsh communities during the medieval period and reflects the practical building methods employed in areas where naturally level ground was scarce.
