Tudor describes the shaft as having been dressed-off and reused as a gatepost, possibly twice. It appeared to have a cable edge moulding but beyond this, Tudor hints at possible interlace, then (in 1934) too indistinct to say more, except that most of it had been dressed-off.
Tudor was hesitant to include this stone in the corpus of Anglo-Saxon sculpture in Derbyshire and so one must conclude that there is considerable doubt here. However the two photographs seem to show the remains of interlace, in the form of a regular pattern of hole-points, adjacent to a broad edge-moulding, though this may have been created by a split in the stone.
