Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)
Cox (in Allen 1894, 30; id. 1895, 169) recorded that a fragment of cross-head, much defaced, 'has been preserved by Mr Webster'. O'Hanlon and Pealin (1995, 72) identify this as 'a fragment of a Saxon wheel-headed cross', but without any additional supporting evidence for the exact form of head. It is highly likely, however, that this stone should be identified with Overchurch 2 above, since (a) Cox's paper (1891–2) only lists one pre-Norman fragment in addition to the rune-inscribed stone, and (b) in his contributions to Allen's papers he only describes that one piece.
