NZ 8777 0016. Ann's Cross wayside cross on bowl barrow 800m south
east of Foster Howes. Scheduled RSM No 25651. The cross consists of
a base and shaft of fine yellow sandstone. The base is squared and
is 0.76m wide and 0.51m high. At a point 0.31m above ground the
base has been chamfered into the socket. The socket is 0.36m wide at
the E face and 0.28m at the N. The shaft is poorly fitted into the
socket and is 0.27m wide on the E face and 0.24m on the N. The shaft
is 1.04m high and broken off at the top. This is also broken and
repaired at a point 0.56m below the apex. Beside the cross is a
portion of the broken shaft showing the slight curve of the cross
head on one edge. This stone is 0.36m wide and partially embedded
in the ground. The cross is set into the top of a bowl barrow which
is 18m in diameter and 1.2m high. There is a 2m wide ditch around its
base and faint traces of a stone kerb at its base. The cross marks
the way known as the Pannierman's Causeway as well as the boundary
between the medieval parishes of Goatland and Sneaton. (7)
