A small rectangular fragment decorated with cable moulding and interlace in low relief on the only visible face. The fragment preserves the remains of two panels – one vertical and one horizontal (as now set). Both panels have partial borders of cable moulding. The upright panel preserves a single unit of interlace motif vii (Fig. 10), the strands being decorated with a double incised medial line. The horizontal panel appears to have to been filled with interlace, which is now illegible.

The stone type, the layout and the style of the interlace associate this fragment with the mid-Kesteven group of covers (Chapter V). This stone can best be read as a fragment from the end of one such cover – the decorated flank being visible (see Fig. 9). If correctly interpreted, this flank is decorated in the usual way – i.e. it is divided into a vertical panel at the surviving end and a long horizontal panel, both of which are filled with interlace. The only reservation with such an interpretation is that motif vii, whilst well known within the mid-Kesteven group, is nowhere else used for this particular panel. Even so these are not grounds for invalidating the identification, and consequently the stone at Fulbeck should probably be grouped with the other mid-Kesteven covers and dated to the later tenth or early eleventh century.
