Llancarfan Monastery (Site of) is a monastery of early medieval date located in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, founded in the sixth century and dedicated to Saint Cadfargan. The site represents an important centre of early Christian religious life in South Wales during the early medieval period, though little physical evidence of structures survives in the present landscape. The monastery would have functioned as both a religious community and a burial ground for the local population and possibly patrons of the foundation. The site's significance lies primarily in its documented history within Welsh ecclesiastical tradition and its role within the broader network of early medieval monastic establishments in Wales.
