Ancient Welsh memorial stones inscribed in Latin and Old Irish ogam provide this fascinating illustrated study with great archaeological and historical significance. Researchers use the freestanding stone crosses and carved stones, which commemorate the elite of medieval Wales in the 5th and 6th centuries, to trace the influence of the church and to connect Welsh development with Ireland, the Irish Sea zone, and Anglo-Saxon England. The study presents new information about these relationships and the first treatments of many recently discovered stones.
