Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording during relocation of Grade II listed stone cross to new position. Lifting of the cross revealed a tapered base with a small square socket on the same side as two rusty hangers and cut-back area previously recorded, probably for hanging a gate. No evidence of the incised crosses supposedly carved on one face were evident, however the part of the cross exposed during the re-location was probably always below ground. The
cross has been re-sited c. 50m to the south-west, on a public space adjacent to the diverted Public Right of Way. An interpretation panel is being installed to provide a summary history. Examination of the void left by the cross did not encounter any objects associated with the 1923 re-siting, and the backfilled soil matched that of the adjacent ground. |
