Cross-inscribed stone

What is recorded here

Tapering limestone slab (L1.37m; Wth 0.47-0.53m; T 0.11m) in three fragments bearing incised stem of cross on steps, head of cross missing. (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 111) Date of upload: 8 September 2016
Probably dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian symbolism; the incomplete cross may reflect erosion or deliberate damage, possibly linked to later iconoclasm. Its location in Abbeyland suggests a connection to monastic or ecclesiastical activity in the area.
