Part of a terminal stone probably from a string-course. The stone carries a plain, square-section border on three sides, the fourth being broken. The border only retains its original face along the upper edge of the stone. The single-strand, median-incised interlace is well carved, but not completely regular. The interlace bends sharply back on itself where it meets the end border of the stone. At the broken end of the stone, the remains of a second strand of interlace can be seen locked around the two interlacing ends of the terminal strand. The background has been cut back within the borders of the stone, leaving the strands of interlace raised.
