Description
The memorial stone is located approximately 8 metres south of the aisle of the Church of St Peter in Zeal Monachorum. It marks the position of human bones that were removed from inside the church in 1913. The stone itself was excavated in the same year and may be an Anglo-Saxon altar stone. Made of granite, it is a large upright slab that stands about 1.5 metres high and measures approximately 3.5 metres long. The stone is roughly finished, and it features some indentations that may be interpreted as crosses, with five in total, which some believe represent the five wounds of Christ.
