Description
Documented as Newbiggin 4: "Relief-carved slab of medium-grained sandstone. The cross head, a bracelet-derivative form, looks authentic (late 12th century?), but the shaft now ends in a stepped base half way down the stone, with below it a much worn early-nineteenth century inscription. Two small incised crosses flanking the main one may also be secondary. This is probably a genuine medieval slab, incised in its original form, re-cut as a relief design in the nineteenth century."
