Margam Inscribed and Sculptured Stones is a collection of early medieval sculptured monuments, predominantly comprising carved stone crosses and decorated slabs dating from the sixth to twelfth centuries. The stones represent significant evidence of Christian practice and commemoration in early medieval Wales, with examples displaying both Celtic and Romanesque artistic influences characteristic of their respective periods. The collection includes fragments of high crosses and grave markers bearing inscriptions and interlace decoration, reflecting the site's association with Margam Abbey and its role as a centre of religious significance. These monuments are preserved as scheduled ancient monuments under Cadw's protection and provide important material testimony to early Christian burial practices and artistic traditions in South Wales.
