Present Location
Built into the exterior east wall of the chancel, between the southern and central 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). J.L. identified Collingwood's (2), 'a fragment of interlacing built into the east end, outside' (1907, 351), with no. 9 above, but Collingwood, who only noted one piece in the east wall, may have been referring to this fragment. First specifically recorded during Cleveland County Archaeology's Churches Survey in 1981 (Tees Archaeology S.M.R., 0243)
Church Dedication
St Martin
Present Condition
Worn; the upper right half of the visible face is scabbled.
Description
The remains of plain edge mouldings survive below and to the left. Within the panel is part of a ring-knot with return loops in flat strand.
Discussion
Probably part of a cross-shaft: the interlacing is similar to that on Kirklevington 5A (Ill. 416).
D.C.
Date
First half of tenth century
