Thought to be the base of a lost stone cross, it now sits amongst old stone coffins in Adel churchyard (SE 2739 4020). The rock has been shaped into a vague cylinder with a basin and undercut below. There are said to be six cups and a 'horseshoe' groove on the upper surface (two of the cups are partly cut away by the edge of the stone). It is believed to have originated from the nearby village of Eccup (Simpson, 1879) and could be the remains of a 'plague stone' (Cowling, 1963).
