One surface only is visible. It is decorated with a cable-moulded border on all four arrises, although the eastern short side is obscured by a modern down-pipe.

This is the top of a rectangular upright grave-marker of Lindsey type, and therefore one of a group of closely similar rectangular markers found with a restricted distribution in Lincoln city and Lindsey (see Chapter V and Table 7A). Similar cable moulding is found on Gayton le Wold (Ill. 183), Hackthorn 2 (Ill. 190), Lincoln Cathedral 2 (Ill. 232), and Lincoln St Mark 16 (Ill. 257). The date range of the group is defined on the one hand by its potential associations with the Lindsey covers and with the exceptional cover at Hackthorn (no. 1) and on the other by the incorporation of the Glentworth example in the fabric of the late eleventh-century church west tower there. The reuse of this piece at Stow in the nave fabric of (at latest) twelfth-century date (Fernie 1983, 124–7) is a further useful archaeological context.
