Situated in the W corner of the burial-ground of the parish church, adjacent to the SW side of a burial aisle, this socket stone is a bun-shaped block of red sandstone measuring at least 0.84m from NNW to SSE by 0.78m transversely. Only the uppermost part of the stone is now visible, standing some 0.18m in height, but tentative probing has shown it to be at least 0.41m in thickness. The rectangular socket, which measures 250mm in depth, widens from a subrectangular bottom (300mm by 110mm) to a longer and much broader opening that has certainly been very heavily eroded and has also probably been reworked.
