Description

A: An outer flat-band and inner roll moulding surround part of a key pattern (Allen 1903, no. 996). There are indications of another panel above.

B and C: Broken away.

D: A flat-band moulding edges a panel of what may be interlace but too little of the pattern survives to be sure. There are indications of another panel above.

Discussion

Too little information about this fragment survives to assign it any clear context or date, but it would seem to be of the same type as 5 and 6, which also have key patterns.
