Description

'Two small pre-Norman graveyard crosses ... Their lower ends have been worked with the large double roll characteristic of the corbelling. One of these crosses has a fine sunk panel with the six-pointed cross in circle' (ibid.).

Discussion

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

Not possible to identify. Two post-Conquest grave-markers in the shape of crosses, which are in the museum, could have been those mentioned in Bond's text, but they are unlike any of his descriptions.
