3/87 Coffin slab abutting Priests
- Door on south side of chancel of
Church of St Andrew

GV II

Coffin slab. Probably C12 or C13. Granite. Coffin slab tapering from head to
foot slightly raised from pitch cobble approach path to the priests door. The
slightly cambered top has the very worn remains of a relief cross patee. The
circular depression in the top arm gives the impression that maybe the cross was in
fact a sword.
