The Anglo-Scandinavian cross 240 metres south-west of Ilam Hall is a stone monument of the Viking Age period, likely dating to the ninth or tenth century. The cross represents the fusion of Anglo-Saxon Christian and Scandinavian artistic traditions that characterised the cultural landscape of the Midlands following Viking settlement. The monument survives as a substantial fragment of what was originally a freestanding stone cross, featuring carved decoration typical of the period. Such crosses served both as markers of Christian faith and as territorial indicators within communities where Norse and English cultures interacted.
