A graveslab lies prostrate near the NW angle of the central portion of the W porch of St. Mary's church (TS083-019001-). The limestone slab (L 1.71m; Wth 0.72m) has been broken or cut straight across the top and broken in a crude fashion across the base. The slab is decorated, in false-relief, with a seven-armed interlace cross, with a barred-knop at its base. A plain cross-shaft rests on a curving calvary mount with a central depiction within a rectangular of a skull and cross-bones. The raised margin appears to be plain but may be worn. The uppermost portion of the cross-head and the top margin are missing. On the dexter side of the cross-shaft, beneath the cross-head there are the initials R M.
