cist cover (?) at adel church
Feb 2004
Last time I was here this stone was missing, any clues to it’s whereabouts?
This is an interesting stone propped up against a wall on the edge of the churchyard close to the ‘plague stone’. It consists of a central cross within a diamond shape with the centre carved into a shallow depression, further grooves continue the diamond shape out towards the edge of the stone. I wasn’t sure if it was prehistoric when I saw it but PRAWR has it recorded as stone 208 and says that Eric Cowling suggested it may have been a cist cover.
