RCHME, Untitled Source (Report - Survey). SDV47139.

Vis=24/4/1990 (rchme) at sx82249766. The base and shaft of this cross are generally as described by previous authorities but the shaft is 1.3m high above the base which is 0.3m high. The whole is recessed into a modern wall some 0.45m above ground level which suggests it may not be in situ.

NMR CITING SAINSBURY, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV47140.

Only the front of the base is visible in the recess on the n side of the wall as the rear s side has been backfilled with soil level to the top of the cross base. A heavy metal (brass?) rivet has been set into the nw top of the base suggesting it may have been used as a bench mark at some time (nmr citing sainsbury).
