The central part of a hogback, set upside down. The tips of a row of type 2c tegulae are visible though worn. There are three vertical panels containing closed circuit four-cord plait in four stages, loosely woven. The panels are separated by roll mouldings.
This is part of a type a hogback, the panel variety, which is otherwise restricted to Brompton in Allertonshire (Chapter IV). But it is improbable that the end-beast fragment, no. 6, belonged to this monument.
