From the Cornwall HER:
A small latin cross of granite is clamped to a blind arch on the interior north-west wall of Marhamchurch parish church. The monument has a tapered shaft with stunted horizontal limbs and displays an incised latin cross on its face. The reverse face cannot be seen. Langdon in 1992 records that it may have been found in the churchyard and that it could be an early gravestone. The cross measures 0.46m in height, width 0.2m, thickness 0.075m (b1).
