There is a compass daisy wheel with all six outside circles visible. There are a handful of butterfly crosses and a few pentangles.  A small cross bow can be found on the south doorway. Melinkoff suggests that this symbol has a potential protective function in Averting Demons. (Mellinkoff, R., 2004. Averting Demons: The Protective power of medieval motifs and themes. Volume1: text. Ruth Mellinkoff Publications)

The south doorway is also the location of several pieces of faint script.

The rest of the graffiti is made up of initials and dates, mainly early 19th century, but one from the late 17th century.
