Part of two broad carved faces survive. These are edged by flat-band mouldings.
A (broad): This face may originally have been divided into quadrants by a plain cross, the arm of which is to be seen at the bottom right. In the upper quadrant, which is framed by a flat-band moulding, there are the remains of what was probably a triquetra knot.
B (narrow): Much of the surface is lost; it may have been uncarved.
C (broad): The cross-arm is clear but it is not possible to identify the interlace types above and below it.
D (narrow): Broken off.
It is not certain whether this fragment was part of the side and top of a slab, or whether the shallow curve represents the top only. In form it is most closely paralleled in Bothal 6.
