The Conbelin Cross, Margam

Front view of the cross dating from late 9th - early 10th century. This photograph was taken in the grounds of Margam Abbey. It is a rare photograph of the cross detached from its base, showing the tenon that held it in place. It is now housed in Margam Stones Museum. Amgueddfa Cymru has a cast of the stone in its collection.
