Obelisk on two-tier plinth. Coped body stone. There is no inscription on the obelisk, but there is an IHS inscription in gothic lettering within a roundel low down on the east face. This is one of two identical obelisks standing side by side - see also E6. The inscription on the south face of the coped body stone reads as follows:
