The description is based on the letter quoted by Langdon (Langdon, Arthur 1896, 403–4).
A (broad): This face was 'ornamented ... with the Keltic plaited cord-work, fairly regular and well executed, not deeply cut, and perhaps somewhat worn' (quoted in Langdon, Arthur 1896, 404).
B, C, D: 'I forget whether it was similarly ornamented on the back and sides' (quoted in Langdon, Arthur 1896, 404).
Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived)
The existing description suggests that this lost monument was part of a cross-shaft containing interlace, and which is therefore likely to be of pre-Norman Conquest date, but no further discussion is possible.
