This appears to be a small piece of irregular interlace crossed by a wide strand or ribbon which could have been the body of a zoomorph, but this is uncertain. There is a wide flat moulding at the top.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date)
The stone is too fragmentary to understand the scheme of decoration in full, but what survives suggests that this could be part of an Anglo-Saxon cross-shaft. As there appears to be part of an edge moulding at the top of the stone, it may have been rotated through 90 degrees when it was reused as wall fabric.
