Description
Grave-marker, or architectural feature, in coarse-grained massive micaceous yellow sandstone. A cross carved above a rectangular block within a round-headed flat-band moulding. The cross is outlined by a roll moulding, and in the centre of each terminal is a round stud ornamented with interlace. The stone is 55 cm high x 58 cm wide x 16.5 cm deep. It dates to the late 7th or early 8th century, and was found in 1865 when the nave built in 1783 was taken down.
