Observed in February 1977 by Michael Hare during a site visit.
Part of a larger panel, with surviving raised borders on two sides and relief decoration. The decoration may be interlace, in the form of a vertical moulding crossed or joined by a second moulding that curves from the top right down towards the bottom left, forming a pointed U-bend return. The decoration looks rather like the lower part of a large letter 'D', but it is probably too large to be a fragment from a 'raised-letter' monumental inscription.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
The fabric of the nave wall may be late Anglo-Saxon in date (Taylor and Taylor 1965, i, 221), but the upper part of the wall has been repaired (relatively recently?) in a distinctive mortar. There is an isolated patch of similar mortar around the carved stone and no more in the surrounding areas of the north wall. This suggests that the stone may have been inserted as part of the repairs. Its provenance is, therefore, unsure, and not enough survives to be certain of its original form or date.
