Nant Crew Inscribed Stone is an Early Medieval standing stone now housed within Cefn Coed Church in Breconshire, Wales. The stone bears an inscription in Latin characters and represents an important example of Early Medieval memorial practice in Wales, likely dating to the fifth or sixth century. Its current location within the church reflects the common pattern of early Christian communities incorporating or preserving pre-Christian or transitional-period stone monuments within ecclesiastical spaces. The stone's survival and relocation to a church setting demonstrates the continuity between pagan and Christian religious landscapes in early medieval Wales.
