Another inscribed stone recorded as at the same site (fo. 61) would seem to have been a medieval grave-slab reading `Maledictus sit qui...', but is not identifiable with one discovered there in 1885 and stated to be in Norman-French (Arch. Camb., 1886, p. 335)'. |

Palaeography: | RCAHMW/1973, 39: `[It] is difficult to interpret even though most of the letters are Roman capitals. The letters after an initial M may represent an unbarred A with half-uncial G, suggesting a Magli- form of name, but such a reading is quite uncertain. There is also a B with separated loops as occurs on the Clwydi Banwen stone (No. 841), dated to the early 6th century'. |
