A socket stone lies in the churchyard, west of the church, in an open patch of ground. The socket stone is square at the base, becoming octagonal above, with cushion corners, the top surface has chamfered edges, and a large, deep, square socket hole. Two incised lines (or joins) run around the stone, one 0.07 metres from its tops, the other 0.15 metres below its top. It is made from local stone (not granite) and is in a poor state of repair.
