The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with the Augustinian priory (LF026-016002-). Grose noted that the priory ‘was surrounded by a lofty wall with a square and lofty gate’ and facing it ‘stood a stone cross, the stump yet standing in the pedestal’ (Stalley 1991, 85). No visible surface trace survives; its precise location has not been identified.
