Upper House Platform House is a medieval domestic structure located in Radnorshire, Wales, identified as a platform house dating to the medieval period. The site consists of a raised earthwork platform typical of Welsh medieval domestic settlement, which would have supported a timber or stone dwelling. Platform houses of this type represent an important form of rural habitation in medieval Wales, particularly among the free Welsh population, and their distribution across the landscape provides evidence for settlement patterns and land use during the medieval period. The monument, formally designated as Radnorshire Scheduled Ancient Monument RD175, contributes to understanding of domestic architecture and social organisation in medieval Welsh communities.
