A tapering cross-shaft of rectangular section. It has flat edge mouldings on the surviving carved faces.
A (broad): One complete and two partial double rings laced through by a two-strand twist survive on this face.
B (narrow): This face is mainly dressed away, but a series of flat curved strands survives on the right-hand side, probably the edge of a continuous basket plait.
C (broad): Dressed away and reshaped
D (narrow): A continuous half-pattern A, of which three registers survive.
F (bottom): This end has been re-shaped, producing a smooth curve which on one edge has a raised step or border.
This shaft is very similar in technique and design concept to Kildwick 4. It is not impossible that it represents part of the upper portion of the same shaft. See also the discussion of Kildwick 4.
