Description

A: A very finely dressed surface with an outer flat-band and a very finely chiselled inner roll moulding.

B and C: Broken.

D: Plain but with an inner roll and outer flat-band moulding.

Discussion

Not enough of this stone survives to allow a meaningful discussion. However, the dressing and mouldings are quite fine and it seems to belong to the group which is earlier than the tenth century.

Uncertain, possibly ninth century
