Inscribed Stone in South Hill Churchyard

This stone was inscribed sometime in the 6th to 8th century with a Latin inscription which has been translated as "the stone of Cumregnus, son of Maucus". It is believed to be an early Christian memorial. The inscription, though faint, is just visible on the face of the stone.
