What is recorded here
Graveslab in Nobber stands upside down, its buried head hiding the base now exposed at the top. The visible slab measures one metre twenty long, zero point four three metres wide at the base and zero point one to zero point one two metres thick. A faint four-centimetre cross shaft and edge moulding remain on the west face, marking the median line between loss and memory.
There is a medieval graveslab, the head of which is deeply buried (visible L 1.02m; Wth at base 0. 43m; T 0.1-0.12m), in the graveyard. The original base (Wth 0.39m) is now at the top and the slightly raised shaft of a cross (Wth 4cm) and edge moulding can be seen on its W face (King 2007, 58).
