Merthyr Mawr Inscribed Stones is a collection of early medieval carved stones now housed in St Rogue's Chapel at Merthyr Mawr in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The stones, which include cross fragments and inscribed slabs, date to the early medieval period and represent significant examples of early Christian monumental art in South Wales. These pieces bear inscriptions and decorative carving characteristic of the period when Christianity was becoming established in Wales, and they constitute important evidence for the religious and funerary practices of early medieval Welsh communities. The stones were originally associated with the settlement at Merthyr Mawr, a site of considerable early Christian significance in the region.
