Rhos-crug Hill settlement is a Medieval house platform located in Radnorshire, Wales, representing a form of dispersed rural settlement characteristic of the medieval Welsh uplands. The site comprises earthwork remains of at least one substantial platform, which would have supported a dwelling and associated domestic activities during the medieval period. Such platforms were cut into hillsides to create level ground suitable for construction in terrain unsuitable for lowland agriculture, reflecting the settlement patterns and subsistence strategies of medieval Welsh communities. The site's upland location and house platform form are typical of the scattered farmstead pattern that dominated rural settlement in the Welsh hills during the medieval and post-medieval periods.
