(November 29, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone now stands in the churchyard just E. of the church porch. It was outside the churchyard in 1872 (according to Blight, page 10) , having been taken from a hedge in the neighborhood where it had served as a support for a railing. Holes were drilled through it for the purpose.
It is made of granite being 4′ 31″ × 2′ 1″ × 0' 10".
The image is that of an equalateral Druid Cross meaning "astrology-magic." This is also supported by the text.
