Description
An incomplete grave-marker in medium-grained, yellow sandstone. Its condition is fairly good, but the surface is largely lost and no carvings are visible. It has been dated to the 10th century and was found by G. Jobey in the rubble core of a post-medieval building north of the north transept, during excavations in 1963.
