A (broad): About half of the circular or disc head of a marker decorated on its only visible face in low relief with a cross of type E6, whose arms extend to the edge of the stone.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
The form of this marker is not certain from its fragmentary state, but the decoration finds analogy on Lindsey examples such as Cabourne 1 (Ill. 396), which might suggest that it was a disc-headed marker with a shouldered base. Such markers are common in the county but with a numerical preponderance of cross pattée decoration (see list in Appendix F [separate PDF]).
