Y Gyrn Hut Platform (S) is a post-medieval house platform located in Breconshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference BR393. The site represents evidence of agricultural settlement and subsistence activity dating to the post-medieval period. The platform itself constitutes the levelled or terraced earthwork typical of upland dwelling sites, where the natural slope was modified to provide a suitable building foundation for domestic occupation. This class of monument reflects the pattern of settlement dispersal across the Welsh uplands during the early modern period, associated with pastoral farming and small-scale agricultural subsistence.
