Cross-slab in Ullard

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

Situated 10m S of the west gable of the church (KK025-038001-) at Ullard. A granite cross-slab (L 0.65m; Wth at top 0.26m; Wth at base 0.23m; T 0.05m) re-used as a gravemarker. A cross in relief extends down the centre with slightly wider, slightly detached horizontal arms towards the top extending the full width of the stone. A raised arc forms the top of the stone while below the arms two diagonal bands extend from the shaft to the edges. Features on the shaft that seem to represent a human figure may be the result of weathering. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 16 July 2013
Probably dates to the early medieval period, likely 8th to 11th century AD, based on the style of the cross. It may have originally served as a Christian memorial or waymarker before being repurposed as a gravemarker.
