In their discussion of various architectural pieces from the Whitby excavations, Peers and Radford noted: 'There is also a jamb stone worked with a double roll, which is presumably a stripwork detail framing a doorway or window, and may be a bonder – the "short" stone – from a long and short jamb' (Peers and Radford 1943, 33).
Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).
J.L. discussed this missing piece together with Lythe 36, 'a door jamb decorated with late eighth- or early ninth-century interlace (Ills. 593–6) ... both indicative of embellished stone buildings at the neighbouring sites. A more ornate version is exemplified in Wycliffe 8 (Ills. 1116–18)' (see Chapter IV).
