It has an inscription indicative of an early Christian memorial stone, although these are normally found on plain stones, not those shaped into crosses. . . . The cross was moved to its current location in 1946; it had been in a field used as a rubbing post for livestock. . . . It is thought to date to between the 9th and 11th centuries.”
