A (broad) : The lower end of the shaft is undecorated for 31.5 cm (12.2 in). In the centre is a large human figure in the orans position, wearing a short kirtle. The hands are large and splayed; the nose in low relief. He is flanked by two smaller figures with pointed chins, their outer arms raised. They wear kirtles. Above the central figure's head is a thick stem, 5 > 4 cm (2 > 1.5 in) wide, with a large tight scroll on each side. Above, the stone is very worn but there are hints of degenerate scrolls. On the left are at least two scrolls, the upper one paired with one to the right. Above the lowest scroll on the right is a dangling serpent with a large head.

This shaft is very similar to Spennithorne 1 (Ill. 746) in design and cutting technique, primitive though it is. The pointed chins and kirtles are typical of Anglo-Scandinavian figure carving in the region, though the raised arm posture has a local parallel on a shaft fragment originally from Masham (no. 3), now at Ripon, where scrolled serpents are also in attendance (Ills. 646–8). The facial features, a deep U-shaped incision, are common to Masham 3, Spennithorne 1 and Thornton Steward 2 (Ill. 793), and indicate a single workshop serving the lower Ure valley (Chap. VI, pp. 49–50). It is possible that the scene on this stone is the Fall, with God, Adam, Eve and the serpent by the tree.
