An earlier site inspection carried out in 1976 records that this cross shaft is ‘probably the ‘standing stone’ as marked’ on the OS 6-inch map (SMR file). The cross is set near a bush and the rear could not be recorded, but may have a faint trace of a latin cross shaft.

The standing stone is likely the cross fragment identifted beside a small tree to the front of the graveyard recorded on this site as Rattin Unrecorded.
