I excavated the very road surface that Gerald of Wales and many of the Welsh Royalty would have ridden down....<br /><br />The excavation and archaeological surveys are suggesting that the Cistercian monastery was built on an earlier christian monastery, likely to be part of the 'celtic' church. It is much larger than most cistercin monastaries and on a much more open plan.
