- Border
- A thick two line border covers the tympanum to this stone's shoulders. At the shoulders, the border thins out and proceeds down the sides. There are illustrated side panels to the left and right of the tablet.
- Remark
- This stone has been damaged both during its installation into its granite frame and post it's mounting. The tympanum has a further four line three section border inside of the outer border. Two of the bands are clear and thin. The center one is illustrated with rounded undulating shapes. Inside of these borders, we find the skull which is an early period rendition with a round shape, oval eyes and a triangular nasal cavity. Above the skull is a wreath of roses around it. The side columns are capped by a Canterbury Cross and cascading floral shapes below it.
