A coped, tapered grave-cover, almost complete except for damage at its foot end that may have shortened it slightly. Decoration is confined to its upper surface and consists of a cross in relief with three wedge-shaped arms (type B6), the upper one touching the head end of the cover, and a long narrow shaft extending the full length of the ridge to the foot.
This cover is practically identical to Langton by Wragby 1, which it lies alongside, except that it is slightly smaller overall. The same discussion of analogies and dating apply. Their weathering suggests that both stones have been exposed in the churchyard for a long time: they may in fact be in or near their original position and a contemporary pair marking related burials.
