Description

All that survives on the one visible face seems to be a wide flat-band arched moulding. There is possibly more of the flat-band moulding at the top.

Discussion

So little survives of the surface of this piece that it is impossible to comment in detail on it. It could have been part of a cross-shaft, or part of a grave-slab in which the moulding survives but the cross has disappeared.
