This stone can only be described from the illustration in Stuart (1867). The shaft is edged with a cable moulding. Each face has continuous interlaces or plain plaits with median-incised strands.
A (broad): Two registers of what was probably intended to be complete pattern C with breaks, the lower terminating in a pattern E knot on the right, and a free ring on the left. Three of the loops on this side are unpointed, but the pattern was probably meant to have been the same as the one on face C.
B (narrow): A four-strand plain plait with a bar terminal. Above is what appears to be the start of a section of simple twist.
C (broad): Two registers of turned pattern C with breaks, terminating at the bottom in two pattern E knots.
D (narrow): A four-strand plain plait.
The repetition of patterns on opposing faces and the cable edges are like 5-6. All have similar dimensions and include median-incised strands. This seems then to be contemporary with them.
