A (broad): Fragmentary inscription in seriffed Anglo-Saxon capitals framed on the one complete side by a single roll moulding:
IN[.]—
[. ]—
B (narrow) and C (broad): Missing.
D (narrow): A roll moulding encloses a line of five straight balusters and part of a plain panel.
The script looks like that of 14, and belongs to the same tradition as the dedication stone (no. 17), and it has the same type of dressing and moulding. The baluster edging is characteristic of what seems to be early architectural and funerary carving at Jarrow. This stone is so similar in letter types, layout and mouldings that it could well be part of 14 or a companion piece.
