Museum of Antiquities, Newcastle upon Tyne, no. 1956.207.A

Find-spots of individual stones from this site not recorded. Presumably all at Newcastle found in the restoration of St Andrew's Church in 1887, either under floor, or built into south wall of chancel. Stones given to Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne by the Hon. the Rev. W. Ellis in 1888. Hodges (1893) records that all stones found were given to the Society. Only 6 of stones now in museum can be identified as coming from Bothal. Possible that some in museum with no known provenance also from Bothal, but rubbing by Hodges of Bothal stones, now in very poor condition and preserved in Library of Society in the Blackgate, Newcastle, only identifies stones of known provenance, while others appear to be missing.

St Andrew

Damaged but fairly unworn

All faces are framed in a deeply cut roll moulding.

A (broad): The moulding encloses a cross of curved type E8, of which the complete upper arm, part of the left arm and a shapeless lump of the right survive. The background is roughly picked.

B, D and E (narrow sides and top): Five elements of step pattern 1 are picked out of the surface with wide grooves.

C (broad): The upper and right arms of a cross, curved type E8, are complete. The left arm is possibly cut back. There is mortar in the joint and the surface is reddened.

See no. 6.
