Described as 'the head of a churchyard cross with figures, somewhat mutilated' (ibid.).

Discussion

Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).

Despite Butler's inclusion of this reference in his paper on new discoveries of pre-Conquest sculpture (1963–4, 105 fn.), it seems probable that an elaborately figured cross-head ascribed to a churchyard cross would be high medieval or later rather than pre-Conquest in date.
