Carew Cross, Celtic cross memorial in Carew, Wales.
The stone cross reaches 4 meters in height and displays intricately carved Celtic patterns, including knots, plaits, and geometric designs on its surface.
The monument dates back to 1035 and bears a Latin inscription commemorating Maredudd ab Edwin, a ruler of the ancient kingdom of Deheubarth.
The cross combines elements of Celtic artistic traditions with Latin text, representing the merger of early Christian and Welsh medieval heritage.
Located near Carew Castle off the A477 road, the cross stands in a protected area with iron railings and remains accessible throughout the year.
The cross structure consists of two sections joined by a tenon joint, using Carmarthenshire sandstone for the upper part and Preseli igneous stone for the base.
