Description
The abbey ruins comprise rubble-stone walls of the nave and part of the crossing. The S wall survives higher, up to 5m, and retains 2 Early English wall shafts. The N wall survives mainly where it retains the bank, with 2 higher sections of rubble-stone core and the base of a single wall shaft. Inside the nave the bases of 3 arcade piers are visible. The bases of the 2 W crossing piers are also visible, with wall between. In front of the wall is a modern memorial to Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. The W transept walls survive in a similar condition to the nave walls. The N transept retains wall shaft bases.
