In 1990 a roughly rectangular granite font was noted lying on the NE edge of the enclosure in a hedge beside the road and a possible cross-shaft with rectangular section and a boss or tenon at the top was noted lying at the SE beside a gateway. A field inspection in 2012 could not locate the font (WI042-013004-) or the cross-shaft (WI042-013004-), which may have been covered, bcome overgrown or have been moved.
