Along one side is a damaged edge moulding, which flanks a four-cord plain plait in neat modelled strand, with regular deep hole-points. Adjacent to this are three plain raised strips. At one end their central incisions give way to a plain rectangular zone which has two extensions which interlace with a moulding that crosses to join a similar rectangular zone. At the other end the outer strip turns to frame the remains of a similar plain plait in modelled strand.
This could have been a flat grave-cover, with a cruciform design of split strands dividing the face into panels of interlace. There is evidence of gridding.
