The stone expands slightly towards the complete end which is convex and is roughly broken in two half-way along its length.
A (top): Decorated with a median ridge of rectangular section which bifurcates at the complete end. One of the bifurcations runs towards each corner, but stops just short of it with a square end.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
Clearly a grave-cover of the same type as no. 1. The two pieces derive from different monuments, however, as on no. 1 the decoration is of semicircular section, whereas here it is rectangular. Although no details of the discovery are known, a similar date to Stedham no. 1 is likely.
