Church Dedication

Present Condition

Much scabbled; only two carved surfaces on a heavily dressed stone

Description

A (broad) : The broken edge moulding is broad and flanks closely woven closed-circuit interlace in a fairly broad strand. The loops are angular and a triangular filler lies close to it. A loose strand runs away to the left, crossing another passing to the right.

B (narrow) : A small remnant of narrow strands, one probably median-incised with a plain strand above it.

C (broad) and D (narrow) : Scabbled.

Discussion

Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).

Too little remains to suggest its function.

Date

Late ninth to mid tenth century
