Description

The remains of Whitland Abbey include the minimal structures of the church, featuring pillar bases of the nave and low walls of the presbytery, located to the north of the main garden wall. This wall is a long stretch that partially occupies the site of the south wall of the nave, constructed from rubble stone with yellow brick coping, raised in red brick, and adorned with some clay tiles, creating a serpentine curve at the eastern end. Towards the western end, there is a rubble stone gateway with a segmental pointed door and a loop above, all under a coped shouldered gable. The wall is thicker to the right of the gateway, though it does not reach full height. To the left of the gateway, there are four buttresses. A stretch of eroded and low wall running south follows the line of the eastern front wall of the lay brothers' dormitory. The rear western boundary wall extends south to a small 19th-century square turret, which features a corbelled parapet at its southwestern end.
