Wales - around Pembroke - Carew Cross - Carew is also the site of the ancient Carew Cross. This is a Celtic cross dating back to pre-Norman times in Wales. The cross is inlaid with fine Celtic knot-work and interlaced ribbon pattern. The inscription on the cross was finally translated in the 1940s, and shows it to be a royal memorial commemorating Maredudd ap Edwin, who became joint ruler with his brother of Duheubarth, the kingdom of Southwest Wales, in 1033, only to be killed in battle two years later. An 11th century Carew Cross is one of three fine early Christian monuments found in Wales - the others being at Nevern and Maen Achwyfan.
