A fragment from the middle of a large shaft decorated with interlace. One decorated face is visible which retains one vertical and one horizontal border. Both are undecorated and of rectangular section. Within both the fields are poorly preserved grids of interlace defined only by a network of drill holes.
This piece would appear, from its stone type, to represent a shaft produced in the Ancaster area. In this respect it should be compared with shafts like those at Brattleby and Ruskington, or Creeton 4 above. It is so fragmentary that the interlace cannot be discussed in any detail.
