Part of a larger monument that has been cut up for secondary use as building stone; a well-formed chamfer on one corner suggests that it may have been recut for a plinth. The only surviving visible decoration is part of a cable-moulded border along one long edge.
It appears that the field within the border has been trimmed off to remove any decoration. This makes it impossible to identify the category of monument with any confidence. The combination of cable moulding and stone type suggests a late pre-Conquest date.
