Description

Only one face is visible.

A: No edge moulding remains. There are parts of two rows of simple pattern E knots, arranged with the points of the loops facing away from each other, using broad, median-incised strands. They are irregularly set out.

Discussion

The clumsy design, especially at one end, and Collingwood's drawing of bungled incised lines (now worn away) suggest this is a local copy of more accomplished versions of the interlace pattern of Stonegrave 5 (Ill. 842).
