Jarrow, Anglo-Saxon grave-marker

Fragment of a grave-marker in medium-grained yellow sandstone. One arm and part of the centre of a cross survive on the only carved face. It is 16 cm high x 10 cm wide x 4.6 cm deep. It dates to the 7th or early 8th century, and was found in 1969 in archaeological excavations re-used in 17th century paving inside the cloister. The cross type is characteristic of Jarrow and Monkwearmouth work.
