A (broad) : On the right is a modelled edge moulding. Within the panel is a very open elliptical ring-knot with its modelled strand continuing to the fracture.
B (narrow) : The edge moulding is broad and modelled. The panel contains ring-twist in very broad flat strand, almost stopped plait.
C (broad) : The edge mouldings are damaged. In the panel is a concentric ring-knot in broad humped strand. A broad curving strand lies below it.
D (narrow) : Scabbled.
The open knot is reminiscent of an attenuated one at Lancaster (Collingwood 1927a, 103, fig. 128), and that on the hogback Gosforth 4, in Cumbria (Bailey and Cramp 1988, 105–6, ill. 322). Such knots are Anglo-Scandinavian.
