Runston Medieval Village Site and Runston Chapel is a deserted medieval settlement located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MM095. The site comprises the earthworks of a former village alongside a medieval chapel, representing occupation and religious activity during the medieval period. The physical remains visible today include the structural traces of domestic buildings and field systems characteristic of a planned or organically developed medieval community, with the chapel serving as the spiritual and ceremonial focus for the settlement. The abandonment of the village and the subsequent survival of these archaeological features provide evidence for patterns of medieval settlement, rural organisation, and the relationship between religious and domestic space in the Welsh medieval landscape.
