ECM: Llanarthne; Elmon Cross (replica)
A disk-headed slab cross (fractured in two pieces), with straight shaft and short stepped butt below. The face is filled with a carved quadrate Latin wheel-cross with incised borders and five incised ring-and-dot devices symmetrically disposed on the four arcs of the wheel and centrally at the base of the stem. The stem extends down the centre of the shaft in the form of a panel filled with rudely incised rusticated ornament imitating plaitwork. In the field around the stem is an inscription in Latin and Norman(?) French.
