Full Description
October 1978. Visit. Outside Tithe Cottage on south side road.
Massive L-shaped lump of flint and mortar about 1m high and 0.5m thick. 'Interior' of one side of angle seems to be a slab of black stone. Covered in moss. Part of cross base?
50m to west by side of Old Grammar School Barn is another similar mass but smaller and rounded, perhaps only a gatepost remnant - not with same appearance of age.
E. Rose (NAU), 19 October 1978.
October 2001.
The second lump as described above has been dug out of the ground by persons unknown and proves to be identical to the first lump; the two appear to be two halves of one very large square socket, but still no clear evidence as to origin.
E. Rose (NLA), 15 October 2001.
