A (broad): The surface has been drastically scraped. The flat edge moulding is damaged. The panel is filled with six-strand plain plait, openly planned. The hole points are deeply hacked.
B (narrow): Heavily recut. There are remains of two interlace hole points.
C (broad): Recut.
D (narrow): The plain, flat edge moulding is damaged. The panel contains open six-strand plain plait, with narrow, modelled strands.
The stringy, open interlace closely resembles that of no. 1, and what are probably parts of its socket, no. 6a–d. It is probably from the same workshop. The patterns are much simpler than on no. 2, but endorse the site's predilection for interlace as the exclusive form of decoration.
