NY 9097 6855. Medieval wayside cross, 780m SSE of Walwick Grange. Scheduled RSM No 25028. A medieval cross is situated just above the W bank of the River North Tyne immediately E of the Stanegate. The cross is visible as a rectangular socket stone measuring 0.9m by 0.75m. It is well embedded in the ground but stands to a height of 0.18m above ground level. There is a central socket hole in which stands a stone shaft 0.33m by 0.25m and 0.6m high with its top broken off. The cross carries an engraving on its W side; this is a narrow 'V' shape 0.36m long and probably represents the remains of an engraved cross decoration. The situation of the cross adjacent to Stanegate, which continued in use as a road during the medieval period, indicates that it is the remains of a medieval wayside cross. (4)
