What is recorded here

Yellowbatter is a lost place, but the gargoyle still lies beside the chapel wall with human arms carved underneath its broken face. That much is visible. Whether it watched the church, drained rain from it or belonged somewhere else entirely has never been explained. The stone remembers more than the story recorded about it.

A gargoyle was noted lying beside the N wall of the mortuary chapel when inspected by ASI in 1966, it may originally have belonged to the church (LH024-030001-). Composed of sandstone (L 0.88m; Wth of face 0.32m; D of channel 0.22m), only the upper part of the face remains and the underneath side has human arms carved on it.
