Overview
Present Location
Lost
Evidence for Discovery
Said to have been 'recently found in the bed of the ford' across the river Swale, south-east of the Benedictine priory (Ryder 1963, 10). Formerly on a table in St Andrew's church, where it was noted by P. F. Ryder in 1963 and Pevsner in 1966. The church was converted into a residential educational centre in the late 1960s.

Description

Possibly a cross-shaft fragment; our only knowledge comes from Ryder's report [1].

A: Ryder's drawing shows a plain edge moulding flanking loosely disposed half pattern F interlace with lying strands. Broken at both ends and on one side.

B–D: Not recorded.

Discussion

The openness of the interlace suggests a pre-Viking Age date.

Date
Eighth to ninth century
