Present Location

Not found in 1993. Possibly in the store of City and County Museum, Lincoln

Evidence for Discovery

Found in archaeological excavations of St Mark's church in 1976 reused in the foundations of the rebuilt nave south wall or its contemporary south-west buttress in the early or mid thirteenth century (Gilmour and Stocker 1986, 23–6, 63). It probably originated in the churchyard cleared to allow this enlargement of the church.

Church Dedication

St Mark

Present Condition

Unknown

Description

Two fragments with traces of a double cable moulding along one arris.

Discussion

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

Too fragmentary to associate certainly with any monument type or standard decorative scheme.

Date

Later tenth or eleventh century
