Present Location
Built into the exterior east wall of the chancel, between the central and northern lancet windows
Evidence for Discovery
See no. 1. The chancel is thirteenth-century, but the upper part of the east wall was rebuilt in 1883 (Page, W. 1923, 262).
Church Dedication
St Martin
Present Condition
One face visible; worn
Description
On the left is a worn edge moulding. Within the panel is an axial straight strand threading free rings.
Discussion
The primitive ring-chain should be compared with Osmotherley 2 (Ill. 722). Ring-chains are rare in the area and this type has neither Scandinavian nor Manx parallels.
Date
Tenth century
