What is recorded here

In the porch of St Audeon's medieval parish church (DU018-020075-) is the lower half of a limestone coffin-shaped slab showing the stem of a cross and a small animal motif at the base. The sides are deeply chamfered. It is broken in three pieces (L 0.67m, Wth 0.48m-0.35m, T 0.14m). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 16 August 2012

likely dates to the early medieval period, possibly Christian, and may have functioned as a funerary or commemorative monument. The cross and animal motif suggest a blend of Christian and possibly older symbolic traditions.
