Visit Notes

Saturday, 9th February 2008

This slab of rock is prone to being covered by the rampaging brambles that now own the own churchyard that it lies in. It measures about 80cm x 40cm. Both surfaces are carved and it used to stand up at one time - presumably used as a grave marker.

The underside has a few worn cup-marks and some straight lines, the latter possibly being plough marks create while it was still buried in a nearby field. The upper side is much more ornate with many worn cup-and-ring motifs. When lit from the side the two central ones still stand out well. One of these has two rings and a gutter.
