Two Platform Houses 1600m SE of Blaen-Nant Farm is a medieval domestic site comprising two earthwork platforms situated in the upland landscape of Glamorgan. The platforms represent the physical remains of structures dating to the medieval period, likely associated with pastoral settlement in the Welsh uplands during a phase of agricultural expansion and consolidation. The site's survival as an earthwork indicates the buildings were eventually abandoned, their stone robbed or degraded, leaving only the levelled ground surfaces where domestic activity once occurred. This monument contributes to understanding medieval settlement patterns in upland Wales, where such platforms frequently supported small dwellings associated with transhumant pastoralism and seasonal occupation.
