Platform Settlement by Clochnant E of Cadwst is a prehistoric domestic unenclosed hut circle located in Meirionnydd, Wales. The site consists of a levelled platform typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in upland Wales, where communities adapted their domestic architecture to challenging terrain by cutting into hillsides to create level ground for structures. Such unenclosed settlements are characteristic of the later prehistoric period in Wales, representing a phase of dispersed rural habitation before the development of more formally defended Iron Age hillforts. The site is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation ME148 and contributes to understanding of Bronze Age and Iron Age domestic life in the Welsh uplands.
