Upper churchyard. Disc-headed gravemarker of sandstone, 0.62m high and 0.34m wide, with a shouldered disc 0.28m in diameter and 100mm thick. On one face (a) the disc bears an equal-armed cross with slightly rounded armpits, in relief within a much-damaged edge-moulding. The upper right quadrant appears to contain a boss or some other motif, but this area is much damaged. Face (b) bears a cross with more pronounced armpits, having at the centre a circular expansion which encloses a small boss. Early illustrations of what is probably this stone show the central hollow and boss as lozenge-shaped.
