149. Hog-backed stone, Edrom.
Lying in the hearse-house to the north of the entrance to the churchyard is the half of a hog-backed monument of white sandstone broken and split longitudinally. The fragment measures 3 feet 1 inch, and the stone when complete must have been about 6 feet. On each side appears well-defined scale ornament - three rows on one side and four rows of smaller scales on the other. The dimensions have been: height, 10 inches at the centre of the back and 6 inches at the end; width at centre 13 ½ inches and at end 8 inches. On plan the stone is slightly curved to the side bearing the three rows of scales, and the underside still shows the chisel marks.
