Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)
Wallis (1932, 40) listed this site as having pre-Norman sculpture but, if it did exist when he was writing, then it is no longer forthcoming. He may however have had in mind the now-lost 'Pendle cross'. Panikkar (1994, 14) locates the former position of this monument at SD 722386 and reproduces a sketch map, discovered in papers relating to a boundary dispute of c. 1613 (Sherburne v. Hammond: Lancashire Record Office Deposit DDSt), which shows a plain Latin cross set on a double-stepped socket labelled 'penlecrosse', on the ridge above Wiswell. The schematic nature of the drawing does not allow for any speculation as to its date.
