Description

Only the part of one decorated broad face now readily visible in the exterior wall is likely to be an original surviving surface. The chamfered window-head recut in the stone cuts through the only decoration.

A (broad): Decorated in low relief with a cross of type E6 set within an incised circle of 18 cm (7 in) diameter.

Discussion

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

The form of the monument is not certain but it appears identical to Hawerby 1 and was probably a marker. See no. 1 above.
