Cross-Marked Stone at Cilymaenllwyd House is an Early Medieval carved stone bearing a cross incised into its surface, located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The stone dates to the Early Medieval period and represents the class of Christian monuments that proliferated across Wales during the fifth to seventh centuries, serving religious, ritual, and funerary functions within contemporary Christian communities. Such cross-marked stones are characteristic of the earliest phase of Christian monumentalisation in Wales, preceding the development of the more elaborate inscribed memorial stones that became common in later centuries. The monument is officially protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw designation SAM CM217.
