History
Probably part of a C16 grange belonging to Kidwelly Priory. Upstanding remains belong to the W side of what was probably originally an L-shaped block.
Exterior
A rubble-stone wall approximately 25m long and up to 6m high, forms the outer W wall of a 2-storey block. A rectangular projection is L of centre, perhaps for a stair, to the L of which are 2 windows in the lower storey with segmental heads, and openings for 4 windows above. To the R of the projection is a doorway and 1st floor corbels, perhaps for a stack. Further R is a single window in the upper storey and doorway near the R end. Behind are return walls and rear wall enclosing rooms, with field walls attached at both ends. Overgrown with ivy at the time of inspection.
Interior
Reason for designation
Listed as the ruins of a once substantial monastic grange.
