Cross with inscriptions, Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire

This image shows two fragments of a late 11th - early 12th century cross. First mentioned in 1833 forming part of a style at the entrance to the churchyard of St Davids Church in Llanarthney. By 1875, the fragments were lying against the Church tower, where they have been photographed in this image. They were moved to their present location in the west tower in 1913.
