What is recorded here

AMEN is cut into the chamfered edge of a squat stone base, sixty centimetres across and thirty-eight high, its hollow mortice still fitting the missing shaft. It stands six hundred metres from the medieval church, adrift in an open field where a Carmelite friary is said to have burned or fallen into grass. The word remains while the religion and the cross itself have vanished, leaving only a shallow promise carved for nobody in particular.
Lies c. 650m to the S of a medieval church (KD004-021005-). A square cross-base (dims. 0.59m; 0.59m; H. 0.38m) contains a rectangular mortice (dims. L 0.24m; Wth 0.20m; D. 0.19m) and has chamfered upper edges upon which the word AMEN is carved in false relief. According to local tradition, a Carmelite Friary (KD004-021006-) once stood in the same field as the cross. (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 163).
