Llancarfan Monastery (Site of) is a monastery of Early Medieval date located in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The site is traditionally associated with Saint Cadafael (Cadfan), a sixth-century saint, though the precise chronology of the monastery's foundation and development remains uncertain. The monastery would have served as a centre of Christian worship, learning, and burial for the local community during the Early Medieval period. The physical remains of the site are now fragmentary, reflecting both the antiquity of the foundation and the effects of post-medieval land use, though the location retains historical significance as a key ecclesiastical site in medieval Wales.
