The National Monuments Service's description
In 2011 a graveyard survey carried out by Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd. recorded the following details about a cross inscribed stone No. 183: ‘Single gravemarker with a carved T O on south elevation. Grave No. 183 had the letter ‘T O’ carved on one side which is less clear and may possibly
represent the initials of the person who’s grave it marks‘ (Hanbidge 2011, 11).
