Visit Notes

Monday, 27th October 2008

This panel was recently rediscovered. It is so worn that that it isn't surprising that that thousands of people have walked right past it without spotting it. I believe it is one of several carved stones first described by Eugene Anthony Conwell in 1873.

It is difficult for me to describe what marking are on the stone as the sun was quite high during my visit. It's probably best to visit this stone in the late afternoon at this time of year.
