Notes: 

Rectangular ledger/slab with rounded top, it is now quite worn and is broken at the centre. It is set into the ground and is subsiding. There is decoration above the inscription but it is very worn. It appears to be an IHS with a cross with expanded terminals in either a sunburst or with rays around it.
