What is recorded here
Situated on a very gentle ENE-facing slope in grassland. In the SW sector of an oval enclosure (WI039-022001-) with a graveyard (WI039-022002-) which has several small, uninscribed grave-markers set in rows and a granite cross-slab with pointed head and arms (H 0.94m). The head is broken and lies beside the rest of the cross. One side had a crucifixion figure in low relief which is no longer visible (Price 1945, 257).

Date likely to the early Christian period, given the form of the cross-slab. It may have served as a grave marker or waymarker, and could be associated with the nearby graveyard and enclosure, possibly indicating a burial or ritual site.
