On the right, three-quarters of the visible face are decorated with the partial remains of an interlace or plait-work pattern. On the left is a terminal V-bend, to the left of which are two curving strands that either form the remains of a double arched panel moulding or part of a closed-circuit design. At the top is a horizontal groove, separating the carving from what appears to be a rolled edge moulding.
This stone is almost certainly a fragment of a rectangular-sectioned cross-shaft. The interlace pattern is too truncated to be certain, but it appears to resemble that on Norbury 1C while the closed-circuit design may be similar to that on Ilam 1C.
