Description

This corner fragment is edged by a double cable divided by an incised line. The lower surface is rough, the upper smooth, and a long projection penetrates the border.

Discussion

The heavy cable edging is more like Roman than Anglo-Saxon work. This may have been the corner of a grave-slab, but it is impossible to be certain.
