One face only retains a little carving. This seems to be a human foot, perhaps wearing a shoe, and part of a leg, enclosed in an irregular flat frame.
This foot is very like those of the figure on Sockburn 6, and the position of the leg seems also to indicate that of a side-facing figure. However it is difficult to reconstruct the position of the other leg and foot, since there was obviously some object between them. It is just possible that the left foot was standing on this central object. It is impossible to say whether this piece is part of a cross or a recumbent monument.
