Description
MATERIAL: granite.
PLAN: 1.26m high, 0.32m wide and 0.26m thick.
DESCRIPTION: an upright granite pillar positioned on a modern granite stone base, the south-west face bears an incised inscription, very worn, in several short lines. The inscription is in Latin and reads C/ DOMI/ NGAL/LO ET/VOLUS' which is a shortened form of the Latin forimperatorinus caesaribus domini nostra Gallus et Volusian'. This translates as `for the emperors, caesars, our lords, Gallus and Volusianus'. Also on this face are two holes: one is 0.25m above ground level; the other is 0.56m above ground level, which were the location of the C19 gate hinges. The hinges have been removed and the holes filled with hydraulic lime and coloured sand mortar.
