Fragment of what seems to be a ring-head cross panel with interlace, possibly part of a gravestone. The carved details are difficult to discern, but the short, square-ended right arm of the cross-head is fairly clear and seems to be of the A2 or A3 type (Cramp 1991, fig. 2). The lower curve of the ring is also apparent. The centre of the cross-head contains the remnants of curves in low relief.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date)
This badly weathered fragment might be part of a panel cross similar to examples from Wales. On balance, however, it seems more probable that it is part of a grave-cover like nos. 3 and 4 from St Mary's in Shrewsbury, Shropshire (pp. 310–11, Ills. 553–6).
