| Discovery: | first mentioned, 1855 Westwood, J.O. |
| History: | CISP: The stones appear not to have been moved since their first mention by Westwood in 1855 and Nash-Williams in 1950, but Macalister/1945, 332 states: `now built into the wall of a lean-to coal-cellar against the S.E. corner of the modern parish church'. |
| Geology: | Macalister/1945, 332, sandstone or ironstone, Macalister does not make clear which stone is which! |
| Dimensions: | 0.6 x 0.17 x 0.01 (converted from Nash-Williams/1950) |
| Setting: | in struct |
| Location: | earliest Westwood/1876, 63: `The second of these stones (fig. 3) is built into the outside of the east wall of the same church, near the south-east angle.' Macalister/1945, 332: `now built into the wall of a lean-to coal-cellar against the S.E. corner of the modern parish church'. Nash-Williams/1950, 82: `Built into external S. wall of church at E. end (with No. 75 [YGYNL/1])'. |
| Form: | plain Macalister/1945, 332, calls it a fragment. Macalister notes Westwood's discussion of whether the two stones (this one and YGYNL/1) were part of the same monument and notes that had Westwood seen the stones the question would not have arisen as they are different types of stone. Nash-Williams/1950, 82: `Lower portion of a roughly quadrangular pillar-stone'. |

| Palaeography: | Westwood/1876, 63--63: `The inscription is simply HIC IACIT, but it cannot have been part of the preceding inscription, as the letters are much smaller (being only 2 1/4 inches high, and much better formed)...The inscription is in good Roman capitals, except the terminal T, which has a more minuscule form, the bottom of the vertical stroke being a little angulated to the right; the A has the cross bar angulated'. Nash-Williams/1950, 82: `Roman capitals, with half-uncial T, all lightly cut in fairly good style. The A (damaged) appears to have an angular crossbar. The C's are enlarged'. |
