What is recorded here
This commemorative plaque records: This cross shaft was taken from the foundations of a cottage during the rebuilding of Ilam village about 1840. Traditionally it is known as the "Battle Stone" and associated with the struggle between the Saxons and the Danes. The carving is similar to that on the grosses in Ilam and Checkley churchyards, and probably dates from the middle of the 11th century.
