Description

One face is decorated with three concentric double circles with a compass point in the centre.

Discussion

Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).

Despite the centre point the circles are very uneven in form. This decoration is paralleled on 2. It is possible that this piece is architectural rather than part of a funerary monument.

Date
Eleventh century
