A (broad): Enclosed in a wide flat-band moulding is a U-bend terminal with outer bar terminal.
B (narrow): No pattern survives.
C (broad): Part of a wide flat-band moulding survives and part of two simple pattern E loops.
D (narrow): Enclosed in a wide outer flat-band and narrow inner roll moulding, is an indecipherable interlace.
The cutting of the interlace is fairly fine, as on 1, 2 and 8. The stone differentiates it, like 8, from the figural group. It is compared by Adcock with Hart 2, 4-5 and Billingham 3, which have the same chiselled strands and uneven patterns. This could be the earliest of the surviving fragments.
