Too little of this monument survives for one to be sure of its form. There seems to be the beginning of an inscription, since it is introduced by a cross. It is probably in Latin, and in some form of Anglo-Saxon capitals:
—[+] HIC—
—[..]—
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
Elisabeth Okasha (pers. communication) considers the letter types to be post-Conquest. The inscription may originally have been of the form HIC REQUIESCIT [—] IN CORPORE.
