The window has a formerly monolithic round-headed arch and one long and one short jamb-stone. Cutting the interior opening is the vestige of a fine moulding which now gives the appearance of a fine roll type.
Early accounts of this moulding describe it as cabled, like the frame of the string-course on the west face below it (no. 12). Taylor and Taylor (1965, 444) also described it as such. Now there are only intermittent traces of this type of ornament; the rest has worn away.
