A (broad): The stone is cut in a tympanum shape which seems to be original, and is surrounded by a double moulding around the curve and a flat plinth at the base. This encloses a bush type of plant with a thick central stem from which branch curling fronds. The outer seem to terminate in long curling leaves, and below these are indeterminate coils.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
Although seen by Browne as a 'wheel-cross' comparable with Amesbury 1 (Ills. 383–7), the shape of the stone and the crude dislocated plant elements would seem to place this in a post-Conquest context.
