Margam Stones Museum

The museum displays carved stones and inscriptions within a former schoolhouse building, featuring ancient Welsh markings and Celtic designs from different periods.

The collection began in 1892 when archaeologists gathered important stone artifacts from the surrounding area to preserve Welsh medieval heritage.

Each stone in the museum reveals early Welsh craftsmanship through inscriptions in Latin and Celtic languages, demonstrating medieval communication methods.

The museum maintains specific visiting hours and requires separate admission fees, as it falls outside the standard Cadw heritage site access scheme.

The collection includes rare stone maces from 2500 BCE, discovered near ancient burial grounds, indicating the social status of Welsh tribal leaders.
