Description

Part of the shaft and possibly the base of the neck of a cross. One vertical and one horizontal flat band moulding survive, enclosing a pattern E knot linked by two strands to a chain of ring knots.

Discussion

The strands, although worn, are quite well modelled, and although ring knots are traditionally considered to indicate a late date, this may once have been a competent carving. Compare Osmotherley 1 (Ill. 718).
