What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records The Giant's Grave - Two Anglian cross-shafts and four hogback stones in St Andrew's churchyard, Penrith as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Anglian cross-shafts and hogback stones, 9th–10th century AD, associated with early medieval Christian burial and monumental traditions. These carvings reflect Viking influence and the cultural fusion in northern England during the post-Roman period.
