It  is  impossible  to  say  on  what  the  fragment  rested
when  in  situ,  or  what  may  have  been  above  it.  The
dimensions  in  its  present  condition  are  as  follow : — The
total  height  is  35  £  inches ;  the  breadth  of  the  broader  front
is  at  the  bottom  17  in. ;  at  the  top  12£  in. ;  the  breadth  of
the  narrower  side  is  at  the  bottom  12  inches ;  at  the  top,
7£  inches.  The  height  of  the  sculptured  panels  is  20
inches.  There  are  no  traces  of  any  Runic  inscription  to  be
found.
A  stone  with  an  animal  of  somewhat  similar  character
was  found  in  1852  in  digging  some  foundations  in  St.
Paul's  Churchyard  in  London.  It  is  now  deposited  at  the
entrance  to  the  Guildhall  Library,  and  forms  the  subject
of   a   Paper   by   the  Rev.  G.  F.  Browne   [now  Bishop  of
