Sister's House is a medieval building located in Wales and protected by Cadw under reference PE302. The structure sits upon bedrock of Pridoli age, comprising undifferentiated mudstone, siltstone and sandstone deposited during the Silurian period. This geology provided the underlying foundation for construction, though the building itself reflects later medieval building traditions.
The name 'Sister's House' suggests a connection to religious community life, possibly indicating association with a convent or religious sisterhood, though the precise nature and dating of the structure within the medieval period remain unconfirmed. The building represents a survival of domestic or communal medieval architecture in the Welsh landscape.
