Two units of simple pattern F interlace, which terminate in two loose strands flanking a concave triangular element at the curved end of the stone. The strands are broad and well modelled. On the upper edge is the remains of cable moulding.
See Kirby Sigston 2 (St Lawrence). It is difficult to know what part of the monument this fragment came from, due to the curved end. Possibly from a shouldered shaft, such as Kirby Misperton 1 (Lang 1991, 152-3, ill. 512). The triangular element flanked by strands resembles a 'Daniel' motif, but there is no evidence for facial features.
