St. Mary's Churchyard Cross, Tregaer is a medieval stone cross of probable fourteenth or fifteenth century date, positioned within the churchyard at Tregaer in Wales. The monument represents the type of parish cross commonly erected in medieval Welsh churchyards, serving functions related to religious observance, community gathering, and the ritual marking of sacred space. The cross survives as a substantial upright stone structure, characteristic of the dressed or semi-dressed stone work typical of crosses from this period in Wales. Such crosses held significance both as focal points for outdoor religious ceremony and as markers of the sanctified boundary of the churchyard itself.
