Viking Stone Cross Fragment, 800 to 900CE, All Saints Church, Weston, North Yorkshire, The Yorkshire Museum, York
Viking raiders sometimes took prisoners who became slaves. The fearsome Viking warrior depicted on this re-used Christian cross is shown with a female hostage, perhaps a local woman who was forced to return to Scandinavia with her captor.

Inchbrayock 1- The Inchbrayock or Samson Pictish Symbol Stone, Montrose Museum, Montrose, Angus
This side - the back - shows a hunter on horseback, armed with spear, sword and shield, chasing a deer, aided by his deer hound. He is probably quite well off, judging by his neat beard and hair. He may well represent the man for whom the stone was made. Below is Samson smiting a Philistine with the jawbone of an ass. Samson is dressed as a Celt and spot the obvious mistake with the teeth on the wrong side of the jawbone.
Three other beasts are also present, and a kneeling deer, which is very similar to one on the Aberlemno Churchyard Stone. The figure in the right corner may be a pregnant lady, perhaps Eve, while the two discs with spirals are very similar to the earlier Pictish double-disc symbol.

11th Century CE 'Carreg Fedyddiol', Ancient Cross Pedestal, Margam Stones Museum, Margam, nr. Port Talbot, Wales
'The Gnoll Stone' (Cefn Hirfynydd), Swansea Museum, Wales
The stone is part of a Celtic wheel cross carved during the eleventh century. The figure is a Celtic priest wearing a short pleated kilt. He has his hands raised in prayer. Above the priest is the bottom section of the wheel cross.
This piece of stone is the upright shaft. The wider piece, carved with the rest of the wheel cross, has broken off at some time and is now lost. It represents a Christian tradition brought to Wales by monks from Ireland. Human figures carved on Celtic crosses are very unusual in Britain.
It is not known where the cross originally stood; it was found on a mountain near Banwen, north of Neath, where it may have been used as a boundary marker. During the eighteenth century, Sir Humphrey Mackworth moved the stone to his home, 'The Gnoll' in Neath. It was included in the grotto which he built in his garden
