CROSS-SLAB IN BURIAL GROUND.
Lying loose at the foot of a grave in the burial ground is a small cross-slab of red sandstone measuring 15 1/2 by 6 1/4 by 1 1/4 inches. It bears on the rounded and somewhat mutilated upper portion the design, in low relief, of a cross-head with semicircular hollow angles and arms of equal length connected at their extremities by a ring or glory.
Visited by RCAHMS, 24 March 1926.
