Fragment of what may be an impost or capital from a square pier or jamb, with a similar profile to St Oswald 19 and 20. The top face is roughly tooled and the side face carries axe marks. The face is decorated with a slightly flat-fronted concave moulding, with deep V-shaped grooves above and below.
