Sculptured Stone in Cornwall

The stone is 1.9 metres high and 0.5 metres wide and stands to the East side of the path leading to the church. It is very well preserved and the inscription is clearly visible.
The inscription is pecked and rubbed on the W face of the stone. At the top are the letters a, w, with M (= Maria) between them, fantastically formed. Beneath is the name NOTI.
