The left side is slightly splayed with reference to the main surviving surface. The angle is decorated with a Z-twist which runs around the corner and dies away into a dressed face. On the front there are three vertical blank bands alternating with a Z-twist at the corner, an S-twist, and a second Z-twist. The bands are about 8 mm wide. The blank band on the right ends in a good surface, 6 mm wide, down the right edge. Either the full width of the stone has survived, at c. 9 cm, or there is an extra deep groove between the right-hand band and any band which may once have existed beyond it.
