This site lies in fields on Sacrewell Farm, Thornhaugh, 4½ miles south-east of Stamford. There is a single inscription recorded in the R.I.B. for the area, a buff-sandstone tombstone found in 1949 on Sacrewell Farm and now in the hands of a private collector. The text of the stone (for what it's worth) is shown below.
