Description
Felindre is a very small village situated on the south western banks of the river Sawdde approximately half a mile south west of the larger village of Llangadog and six miles north east of Llandeilo. According to the Dyfed Archaeological Trust, 'The village of Felindre has a remarkably unusual plan. It is nearly square, formed by a road that encircles gardens with houses fronting the road. Within the area enclosed gardens run radially from the properties on the street front but there are also properties within the interior set obliquely to the principal alignments. The latter are almost certainly later. On the outer side of the encircling road are other properties with their own gardens and fields. Beyond the village are strip fields with hedge banks that appear to sit on lynchets. The whole appears to be carved out of an openfield(?) By association it seems possible that the village is medieval in origin and thus represents a unique plan form.'
