Description
An Early Christian memorial stone, thought to date from the C6-C8, in use as a gatepost.
MATERIALS AND PLAN: the stone is of granite and is in use as a gatepost, on the west side of a lane from Huckworthy Cross to Tavistock.
DESCRIPTION: the stone stands at approximately 1.6m high, although there is clearly further stone below ground. It has four letters cut into its eastern face reading RE NR. Towards the base of the stone is a vertical slot, which probably represents the horizontal letter I.
Close to the top of the stone are other marks which may represent further letters or which may be decorative. There is a modern steel gate fixed to the stone.
