The National Monuments Service's description
In a children’s burial ground (MA027-001001-). Aldridge (1969, 86) noted a cross-inscribed stone (MA027-001003-) on a crude stone-built altar (MA027-001002-) at the NNW end of the burial ground. He described it as a 'natural square stone with crude superimposed crosses cut in it’. It was not located during an inspection in 1996.
