Part of the narrow face of a shaft. A flat-band moulding flanks an inner roll moulding on both edges. Within the panel is 'knitting stitch' twist with dropped loops (Adcock 1974). The finely modelled high strand is 1 cm wide.
A similar edge moulding and the remains of plant ornament are visible on a portion of the upper surface.
The distinctive 'knitting stitch' on the visible face is very closely paralleled on the narrow face of a shaft from York, St Leonard's Place 2 (Lang 1991, 110, ill. 370., although the face is slightly wider on the York piece and the interlace less squeezed. Since these are the only two monuments in the north which have this pattern, there may be some connection.
