Only two faces are carved.
A: The surviving fragment of the carved face contains part of a straight line pattern, meander 1; curving away from it is an incised cable border and an outer roll moulding.
B: Plain.
This and the Tidfirth stone (no. 3) are evidence for the continued tradition of stone carvings on the site after full monastic occupation had ceased (Introduction, p. 3), since the incised technique and the straight line meander are more characteristic of the Anglo-Scandinavian than the Anglian tradition. It is not certain whether this is part of a cross-shaft or slab since there seems to be part of a chamfered dressed face behind the outer roll moulding.
