Description
To much the same period [early tenth century] may be assigned a fragmentary corbel and some plaitwork motifs that adorn the arch of a small doorway at Ashton Keynes in Wiltshire; the arch is cut out of a single block of stone ...' (Rice 1952, 144).
Discussion
Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).
Not seen on site visit. This is usually assumed to be a Norman or later church throughout (Pevsner and Cherry 1975, 94–5). Probable misidentification by Talbot Rice.
