Six Inscribed Stones in St Tudclud's Church, Penmachno is a collection of early medieval inscribed stones, likely dating from the fifth to seventh centuries, held within the church at Penmachno in Conwy. The stones represent examples of early Christian monumental practice in Wales, bearing inscriptions in Latin and occasionally Ogham script that commemorate individuals and serve as evidence of Christian burial practices during the post-Roman period. These stones are fragmentary in nature, typical of early medieval memorial markers, and their presence at St Tudclud's indicates the site's long continuity as a place of Christian worship and burial. The inscriptions and their associated findspot provide valuable archaeological and epigraphic evidence for understanding early Christian communities and settlement patterns in medieval North Wales.
