The heads of two churchyard crosses with disc-heads and fragments probably belonging to one of them, a Latin churchyard cross with an inscription, and a stone with an inscription are set in cement just S of the N nave wall. This sandstone solid-ring cross (H 0.54m; span 0.39m; T 0.14m) with stubby arms has a pyramid on top. A crucifixion with a cherub above is depicted on one side, and IHS is carved on the ends of the arms. The reverse has a recessed cross in a circle with a cherub above. The letter A is inscribed over the cherub and below the cross are the letters: AUIL. Two fragments from cross shafts are likely to have been part of this cross. One piece (dims 0.25m x 0.14m; H 0.43m) has a carving of a bishop on one side and a man with raised arms on the other. A second stone (dims 0.26m x 0.15m; H 0.25m) has the upper part of a person on one side with the inscription: PAT / GARGA / N MAD / E THIS / CROSS / E ANNO / D 1686 on one side and the letters: N / M / GA on another.
