An irregular, acute triangle shape, with a semicircular 'bite' and one corner cut off. The whole face is covered with crude interlace. On the left it follows the edge of the slab in a series of twists. The strand is broad and consists of three parallel modelled beads. On the right the patterns are obscure.

Since the pattern is interrupted and only conforms to the roughly triangular shape along one edge, it is safe to assume reuse and a secondary function as a window head, as Taylor supposed (Taylor and Taylor 1965, II, 610). Taylor assigns the wall into which the fragment is built as period C3, possibly, or even Saxo-Norman overlap. The triple banding of the strand would be uncommon before the eleventh century, though the carving is rustic. But similar interlace is found on the hogback Pickhill 4 (Ill. 738).
