Appendix B item (stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period).
There were, in addition to Crowland nos. 2–7, six further stones marking the northern and western boundaries of Goggisland, west of the island of Crowland proper, which were recorded in the Minutes of the Spalding Gentlemen's Society (Gough 1783, xiv; Davies 1916–17, 24–5). Starting from the east by St Guthlac's Stone (Crowland 2), they were St Michael's Stone (no. 8), Crux in palude (over against Whitehouse) (no. 9), the cross in the flags (no. 10), Crux Scti Guthlaci in fegete prope Oggot (no. 11), a large octagonal base near Oggot (alias Wodelode Grayne) (no. 12), and St Nicholas Cross at Eastcote in Pinchbeck (no. 13). No drawings, or exact locations of any of these stones survive and, unlike nos. 2–7, no suggestion has been made that these stones were pre-Conquest.
