Butler (1961, 16) refers to a cover at Cammeringham on which, as at Ewerby 1 (Ill. 170), 'the main cross outline is clearly drawn and the remainder of the slab filled with two-strand interlace'. He assigns it an early eleventh-century date, with analogies at Willingham, Balsham and Little Shelford in Cambridgeshire. This is clearly not Cammeringham 1 (Ill. 81). Later again Butler (1964, 113) refers to a grave-cover of pre-Conquest date at Cammeringham with a cross design surrounded by two-strand interlace and (ibid., 119) a U-shaped termination, presumably the same piece.
Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).
This stone is either otherwise unrecorded and now lost, or it is an error of substitution by Butler. The analogies fit Lincoln Cathedral 1 (Ill. 230).
