Golden Grove Knotwork
 |
| The carved stones at Golden Grove, Llantwit Major and Nevern Dyfed demonstrate that Celtic knotwork was indeed developed by regular breaks and reconnections of the Greco-Roman plait as speculated by J. Romilly Allen , and George and Iain Bain . This pattern at Golden Grove uses an irregular cord element that cannot, to my knowledge, be found anywhere else in Celtic knotwork design. The reconnection of the broken plait with this cord element seemed to be the only solution |
