The Claustral Buildings at St Clears Priory is a medieval religious structure forming part of a Benedictine priory founded in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The surviving remains comprise stone foundations and fragmentary walls that once enclosed the cloister garth and its associated ranges, typical of monastic planning from the medieval period. These buildings would have contained the dormitory, refectory, and other domestic offices essential to the community's daily religious and communal life.
