See Barton-Upon-Humber 2.

This slab belongs to a group of monuments of uncertain function, which could be either small grave-covers or tall thin markers (or possibly they were intended to serve both functions) (Stocker 1986a, 56, etc.). These small monuments often carry cross pattées (and are therefore not catalogued here – see Appendix F), but there are similar examples which are decorated with earlier cross-head types at Lincoln St Mark's (ibid., fig. 52) and also, for example, at Hawerby (nos. 1 and 2; Ills. 397–8) and there is a second example at Burton Coggles, though with a cross-head of type E8 (no. 2, an Appendix A item: Ill. 395). The cross-head type on no. 1, however, is more unusual. There are no exact parallels in the county, but it is clearly related to the crude incised saltires which decorate the group of 'gridded' rectangular markers (Chapter V), such as Bicker 4 (Ills. 49, 52). By analogy with this group of monuments Burton Coggles 1 should belong to the late tenth or eleventh century, but because it has such close similarities of form to no. 2, which has a later cross-head type, no. 1 probably dates from the later eleventh century rather than earlier.
