Y Gyrn hut platform is a post-medieval house platform located in Breconshire, Wales, representing the remains of a domestic settlement dating to the post-medieval period. The site consists of a levelled platform that once supported a structure associated with agricultural subsistence practices characteristic of upland Welsh communities. The platform's survival demonstrates the persistence of settlement patterns in the Breconshire uplands during the early modern period, when such sites reflected both residential occupation and farming activity integrated within the local landscape. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw designation BR390, the site contributes to understanding post-medieval rural settlement and land use in the region.
