Overview

Excerpt from Transactions of the Cardiganshire Antiquarian Society and Archaeological Record, 1910-14, Vol. 1 Extensive excavations were undertaken some years ago by the late Mr. Stephen Williams; with the support of the Cambrian Archaeological Association. Amongst those who also assisted him were the Countess Amherst, the Countess of Lisburne, Mr. Morris Davies, Ffosrhydy galed, Mr. D. C. Roberts and Mr. C. M. 'ivilliams, Aberystwyth. The result of Mr. Williamsexcavations was the preparation of a complete ground plan of the Abbey, the six transept chapels with their tiled floors were exposed to view, the bases of the pillars were made visible, and, perhaps above all else of value, the tiny monks' cemetery, with its cross headstones absolutely undisturbed, was once more brought to light. Before Mr. Williams undertook his work the site of the Abbey presented the appearance of a great green mound, with only the beauti ful western door and a few other portions visible above the ground. The side chapels are now carefully railed off, and Visitors can see through the grilles the bases of the altars and the wonderful variety of tiles used for flooring them'.
