Only one carved face is visible.
A (broad): Surrounded by a double grooved moulding and divided into two panels by a single grooved moulding. (i) The lower part of two figures facing each other. They wear knee-length tunics. (ii) A large panel of interlace, complete, turned pattern D.
This shaft including the interlace is quite competently carved. The style of the small figures reminds one of other Anglo-Scandinavian sculpture in the area, such as Finghall, Yorkshire, Coniscliffe 6 and Sockburn 3-7. The carving of the interlace at a larger scale than the figures is also typical of some of the late work in this area. (See also no. 7.)
