Margam Inscribed and Sculptured Stones is a collection of Early Medieval carved stone monuments, primarily comprising cross-slabs and inscribed stones, housed at Margam Abbey in Glamorgan, Wales. Dating from the Early Medieval period, these stones represent significant evidence of Christian practice and commemoration in South Wales, with some pieces bearing Latin inscriptions and Celtic decorative elements typical of the period. The collection includes fragmentary crosses and grave markers that reflect the religious and funerary practices of Early Medieval Welsh communities. These monuments are of particular archaeological importance for understanding the development of Christian monumental sculpture in Wales during the early medieval centuries.
