A large slab carved on only one face. An incised circle is centred, almost filling the top half of the slab. Within this a cross of type E12 has been formed by sinking and dressing back four circles, regularly spaced, one in each quarter of the incised circle. There is a small circular depression at the centre of the crossing.
Appendix A item (Stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date)
See the discussion of High Melton 3 (p. 279). However this piece is much larger, and that and its position suggest that it is possible that it was a boundary marker rather than a grave stone.
