The Area of Conventual Buildings at St Mary's Priory is a medieval priory in Wales with Cadw designation reference MM183. The site comprises the remains of monastic buildings that formed the functional core of the priory community, typically including ranges arranged around a cloister which would have housed dormitories, refectory, kitchens and other service structures essential to communal religious life. As a priory foundation, the site served both as a centre for ritual observance and as a burial ground for members of the religious community and potentially for patrons of high status. The conventual buildings represent the physical infrastructure of medieval monastic life and remain significant for understanding the organisation and spatial arrangement of religious communities in medieval Wales.
