Part of socket, or church furnishing, in medium to coarse-grained reddened sandstone, 14 cm high x 12 cm wide x 7.6 cm deep. Hollowed out, broken but unworn. The short end appears to have had a lightly grooved moulding with a deeply cut inner edge forming a small square panel. Inside there is a possible inscription, probably in Anglo-Saxon capitals. Its date is uncertain. It was first noticed in 1972.
