These are three small fragments each decorated with a cable moulding running across the centre of the stone; all three appear to belong to the same cable moulding.
Only 4b retains any further decoration; it appears to have incisions indicating a run of interlace along one side of the moulding.
Although all three fragments are likely to come from the same original monument, it is not possible to say what type of monument this might have been. The stone type would be consistent with their having come from a mid-Kesteven cover (Chapter V), but there is no further evidence for this suggestion, and such cable mouldings are deployed in many other types of monument as well.
