Round-topped stone with flat back and edges, the front decorated with two recessed, less than semi-circular, features rising from a flat cut 6 cm (2.4 in) above the base of the stone
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date)
The straight edges to either side show that this is a specially cut stone and not the remains of a round drum. Probably a grave-marker designed to fit against the lower end of a flat-topped grave-cover.
