What is recorded here
Architectural fragments line the Priorstate graveyard wall, marking a lost building whose purpose has faded from memory. Carved stone waits inside a living boundary, forcing every visitor to wonder whether creativity or desperation built the wall. The church and its people have vanished, but their shapes still resist forgetting.
A number of fragments of carved stone are incoporated into the enclosing wall of the graveyard (LH011-115006-). (Bradley and King, 1984b, 147)
