Cross-Slab in Church is an Early Medieval stone slab bearing a cross incised or relief-carved into its surface, located in Breconshire, Wales. Dating to the Early Medieval period, typically between the fifth and twelfth centuries, this monument represents the material culture of Christian worship and burial practice in Wales during the post-Roman era. The cross-marked stone served both ritual and funerary functions, likely marking a grave or serving as a focus for devotion within the church setting. Such stones are characteristic of Early Medieval Welsh religious sites and demonstrate the continuity of Christian practice in the region following the Roman withdrawal from Britain.
