Remains of Llawhaden Hospital

The remains of Llawhaden Hospital is a tall, free-standing rectangular building, constructed from uncoursed local stone rubble and oriented east to west. The better-quality stones at the corners have mostly been removed. The roof features stonework over a high pointed vault, which is finished at the face without any slates or tiles. The west wall is blank and may be related to early foundations that have recently been uncovered. The other three sides have openings, but all the dressed stone has been lost. There are openings for slit or lancet windows on the north and south sides. A door was located near the west end of the north wall, and a wide rounded doorway can be found centrally in the east wall, with some stone voussoirs still intact.

Internally, the building measures approximately 8 by 5.5 meters, with a pointed vault reaching about 7.5 meters at the apex. The north and south window openings have sharply splayed reveals and steeply sloping sills. On the south side, there is a piscina with a straight-sided two-stone arch. Some plaster remains are visible, and there are sockets for four inserted beams, which were likely used for a recent stable loft.
