Description
The Ignioc Stone is a granite monolith located 2 metres south of St Clement Church. It features a Greek cross carved into the bulbous head and is believed to date from the Roman period, possibly the 3rd century. The stone is inscribed with the words 'Ignioc Vitali Torrici', although the ends of the words are difficult to read. Additionally, there are inscriptions in Ogham script on the sides. Originally used as a gatepost for the Vicarage, the stone was relocated in 1922. A similar stone can be found at Yealmpton, Devon, which is associated with Torricus. Information is sourced from the church guide, and the stone at Yealmpton is designated as an Ancient Monument.
