Present Location

Built into the interior south wall of the nave, west end, in the corner, above no. 22

Evidence for Discovery

See Stainton 3 (St Peter and St Paul).

Church Dedication

St John the Baptist

Present Condition

Only one face visible; broken on two sides

Description

A corner fragment has a plain perimeter L-shaped moulding. The panel contains roughly cut median-incised interlace with added diagonals.

Discussion

The interlace was not gridded and the hacked work indicates a poor quality of carving. Insufficient remains to determine the form of the monument.

Date

Late ninth to mid tenth century
