Only two faces are visible.
A (broad): Within a plain edge moulding are two runs of step pattern 1, lying adjacent to each other.
B (narrow): A plain edge moulding flanks one run and part of an adjacent one of broad step pattern 1.
Step patterns are common throughout Yorkshire on narrow fields of Anglo-Scandinavian monuments, for example, along the ridges of hogbacks. Adjacent parallel strips of the pattern are less usual, but occur after a fashion at Aberford in the West Riding (Collingwood 1915, 130–1, fig. h) and at Glassonby, Cumbria (Bailey and Cramp 1988, ill. 287) This is unadventurous work.
