 | | For many years Llandough, near Penarth, has been regarded as the site of St Dochdwy's monastery, one of the most important early medieval monastic settlements in south-east Wales, and one which is mentioned in a number of early charters. |
 | | Further support for the identification of Llandough as the site of St Dochdwy's monastery was provided in the 1970s when excavation of a nearby Roman villa revealed post-Roman burials - evidence at least that Llandough was occupied in the early medieval period. |
 | | This prestigious neighbour eclipsed the monastery whose abbots were, according to charters of the time, replaced by priests, while their monastery was reduced to the status of a parish church. |
