A (long): There are the remains of four medallions of a crossing scroll. The two complete centre medallions are larger than those at each side but even they are not identical; the one on the centre left is 29.5 cm (11.75 in) across and on the right 33.7 cm (13.5 in). The crossing strands are remarkably thick: 4 cm (2 in) wide on average. The left medallion encloses a pendent triangular berry bunch framed below by a plain curling leaf (G.I., fig. 11) and a heavy tendril. The right medallion encloses an oval berry bunch, a curling leaf on a short stem as in the other, and a pair of rounded leaves. Only part of a berry bunch survives of the next medallion. There seem to have been small triangular leaves in the spandrels of the crossings.

B (end): Worn and uncarved.

C (long): Rough-dressed.

D (end): Smooth and uncarved with a hole 8 cm (3 in) above the base. The underside of the base is rough-dressed.

Although it is clear that the stone was put to a new use and somewhat mutilated when it was used as a farm trough, it is not clear from its present condition whether the stone was hollowed out at the time it was carved, thus supporting the suggestion that it was originally a coffin or trough, or whether it was a massive architectural feature which was subsequently hollowed out to form a trough. The slight taper in the depth of the stone could support the former suggestion, but the identity in height and close similarity in motif and style between this and the Falstead piece, which is a solid block, supports the latter view. The style of scroll is closely allied to Saxon work such as is found elsewhere in the north, and this is discussed in relation to Falstead.
