ECM: Pen-y-Fai; slab
On the one decorated face the head is filled by a ringed panelled cross-formy, the arms more deeply sunken than the smaller inter-arm spaces, all within an angular moulded frame. The squared hub has an incised ring somewhat off-centre, and each of the lower spandrels contains a ringed pellet. The shaft is treated as one rectangular panel framed by the angle-mouldings and is apparently plain, but faint traces of letters indicate a former pecked inscription in four lines which was presumably deliberately effaced at an early date.
