What is recorded here

Within the graveyard (GA068-024001-) surrounding St Annin’s Church (GA068-024----). Recorded by Higgins (1987, ii, 376, no. 96), this large subrectangular slab of limestone with a curved or bow-shaped head bears an 18th-century inscription that overlies a two-line ringed cross with wedge-shaped terminals at the head and arms. The cross form appears to be early Christian or early medieval in date and the slab appears to have been recut when the sides were straightened and trimmed to shape the later gravestone.
