Two Platform Houses 1600m SE of Blaen-Nant Farm is a medieval domestic settlement comprising two adjacent platform houses, located in Glamorgan, Wales. The structures, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference GM326, represent typical upland settlement patterns of the medieval period, when scattered homesteads occupied marginal pastoral land in Welsh valleys. The platforms upon which the houses were constructed are characteristic of medieval domestic architecture in Wales, providing levelled building surfaces on sloping terrain. The site provides evidence of the rural economy and settlement hierarchy of medieval Wales during a period of permanent upland occupation.
