Runston Medieval Village Site and Runston Chapel is a deserted medieval settlement in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site comprises the remains of a medieval village settlement alongside a chapel, representing occupation and religious activity during the medieval period. The physical evidence includes earthwork features characteristic of medieval habitation, including house platforms and field systems, together with the chapel structure which served the spiritual and communal needs of the settlement.
