Rounded cross-head from a headstone, or possibly a pillar-cross. Features a pressed face, with an incised outline cross-of-arcs of intersecting lines, the arm-ends forming disconnected segments of a circle, within an incised double-ring framing regularly spaced incised dots. (JL & MR). Or, an incomplete 'Maltese' Cross (N-W).
Site Name: Penhydd Waelod Farm, Margam
Notes: original monument found 'built into the wall of a barn' (Nash-Williams). It has subsequently been lost and only the cast replica (at NMGW Cardiff) remains. It is open to question whether this was the original location. The field names on Penhydd-fawr (SS 807 930), the farm on which this monument was found, suggest the former existence of a grange and chapel there rather than at the recorded find spot (JL & MR).
