Inscribed Stone in outer face of wall of St Michael's Church (now in Llandissilio Church) is an Early Medieval cross-marked stone, dating to the period between the fifth and seventh centuries, representing a significant example of early Christian monument tradition in south Wales. The stone is carved with a cross design typical of the post-Roman Christian period in Wales, reflecting the transition from pagan to Christian religious practice in the region. Originally positioned in the outer face of the wall at St Michael's Church, it was later relocated to Llandissilio Church where it remains. Such cross-marked stones serve as important archaeological evidence for the chronology and distribution of early Christianity in Carmarthenshire and the broader pattern of Early Medieval religious expression in Wales.
