Carving survives on only two faces.
A (broad): The double edge moulding is identical with the one on no. 11, the outer being slightly broader than the inner. A double-incised band crosses horizontally. Below it an incised diagonal drops from the left corner.
D (narrow): Only the double edge moulding remains.

1. All the pieces from the Minster were discovered as a result of the excavations of 1966-71 by H. Ramm and D. Phillips. They are to be published as a handlist, together with a critical essay, in the forthcoming Royal Commission volume on the excavations. That publication will provide the finer detail of their archaeological contexts, both in a table, and in a description of the excavation of the south transept cemetery.
The following are general references to the stones: Wilson 1978, 142; Hall 1980b, 7, 21; Lang 1988b, 8, 12; Lang 1989, 5.
