Discussion

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

The only record of this piece is Butler's sketch, in which it is romantically depicted beneath Stedham nos. 10–11; it could equally have been one end of a grave-cover decorated with a median ridge crossed near the ends.

Stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date in eleventh century
