Seen from the southwest.


This memorial isn't where the OS map says it is.
It's very neglected and overgrown, it misses the pyramidal cap that I have seen in other monuments of the kind, but judging by the remaining stones on the top of the pillar, a cap was present in the past.
It's a square pillar of 1.55 metres in plan. Into a shallow niche facing northwest (310°) there's an inscribed plaque which measures 71 centimetres of height and 43 centimetres of width. The inscription is very weathered and especially the first lines are very worn. What I think I have read on it is that it was erected by a certain Margaret in memory of her husband William in 1693.
