Cross-Incised Stones is an Early Medieval stone monument located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, bearing incised cross markings that indicate its religious or ritual function. Dating to the Early Medieval period, such cross-marked stones served multiple purposes within Welsh communities, functioning as markers of sacred space, funerary monuments, or focal points for Christian worship and devotion. The incised crosses on the stone represent a characteristic form of Early Medieval Christian expression in Wales, predating more elaborate carved monuments.
