The edge moulding is plain, with locking rings on the top corners of the shaft by the neck. At one end the face is quite plain and at the other are remains of closely woven interlace in flat strap: the pattern can not be determined.
The locking ring is a feature of the Allertonshire workshop (Chap. VI, pp. 44–5), and should be compared with Brompton 3 and Kirklevington 2 (Ills. 37–8, 404–7). This monument seems to have been smaller and less ambitious.
