Figure 37.8 Local schools of carving from Glamorgan, where a form known as a 'panelled'
or 'cartwheel' slab emerged in the late ninth century (the 'Margam' group). Another distinc-
tive form was the disc-headed cross (from Margam and Llantwit Major). No Celtic cross-heads
with perforations are known, though disc-heads with Celtic cross designs in low relief occur.
