measures 6ft. [feet] 7 ins. [inches] in length: The second
stone, some 6 ft [feet] to the South of the last
measures 6ft [feet] 9 ins. [inches] in length, 1'11" in
breadth at base, 5 ins. [inches] across the flat top
and 1 feet in breadth on each side. Along
each side it is ? divided into 4 panels
those on the North side containing a fleur de lys carved in
high relief, two designs being twice repeated,
and on the South while three contain
fleur-de-lys in this case combining with
oak leaves, the fourth panel encloses
a cross within a quatrefoil. The
East end of the
stone is carves with a floriated device
and the West with a shafted cross.
