A grave-marker of the type with a shaft and round head. The plate-like head is decorated with an incised Latin cross (type A1).
Appendix A item (Stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date)
The plainness of the cross makes this even more difficult to date than Tankersley 1, but the overall argument, that this is an 'overlap' type of monument, still applies. See High Melton 3.
