A (broad): The edge moulding is flat and survives only on the right-hand side. Within the panel on the right are the remains of the upper half of a human figure with domed brow, pointed chin, and incised facial features in a single line. One shoulder and an arm remain, the hand holding a tapering object. On the left is part of another head.
Above the figures on the right-hand side are the terminals of an interlace, apparently a four-strand plain plait. There was presumably a parallel run on the left-hand side, but it is so damaged as to make its pattern uncertain. The strands are slightly modelled.
B (narrow): The edge mouldings are flat. Within the panel is a double run of two registers and part of a third of simple pattern E, the rounded points of the loops facing outwards, using median-incised strands.
C (broad): Recut.
D (narrow): Sliced away in an arc.
The probable adjacent runs of interlace resemble no. 4. The lack of horizontal panel borders is also typical of the site. Not enough remains for a safe interpretation of the figures: compare Sinnington 1 (Ill. 800) for their position immediately beneath interlace. The pointed chins are a common Anglo-Scandinavian feature: for example, Sockburn 6 and 21 in co Durham (Cramp 1984, II, pl. 132, 720; pl. 146, 767–8). A close parallel lies in a fragment at Pickhill, North Riding (Collingwood 1907, 385, fig. d on 381).
