A (broad): At the top is a horizontal run of pellets which turn upwards at each end to form an inner panel moulding. The outer edge moulding appears to have been plain. Within the base of the panel are the lower terminals of an interlace; the strands are median-incised.
B and D (narrow): The lower section is plain and chisel-dressed. At the top is a narrow panel flanked by a plain moulding containing the clumsily executed terminal of an interlace, probably part of a four-strand plain plait. The strands are median-incised.
C (broad): Some vestiges of interlace identical with face A's survive at the top.
The inexpert interlace and use of pellets are typical of second-rate usage in York, and may be compared with the treatment of larger shafts from this site, such as no. 6.
