This is such a small fragment that it is impossible to say whether it was part of a grave-cover, a slab for a wall or part of a shrine decoration. The number of fragments with such forms and with similar interlace is however noteworthy at Glastonbury, and it is possible that they were part of the same scheme or monument.
