Full Description
An upright tapering slate slab with a very flat back measuring 0.7m x 0.66m x 0.07m, sits within an apprently square cut just to the east of the modern field boundary.The setting appears to have little stone within its setting hole. The erection of this stone is likely after 1990, when the nearby site of MSO12161 was visited by the RCHME, a site which has been badly damaged and almost destroyed. It is unknown if the erection of the stone is linked to that event. [1]
