This rectangular recumbent monument (1.46m long, 0.45m broad and 0.27m thick) has a socket at one end; both sides and the upper surface of the stone have been decorated, but the ends are damaged and incomplete. The left side was ornamented with a fish monster with many fins, now entirely obliterated. The right side contains four naturalistic animals in relief; a stag, the hind leg of which is being bitten by a dog or wolf, as well as two imposing confronted bulls. The upper surface of the slab is decorated with a striking panel of ornament and side bands of interlace flank deep recessed lozenges. The socket is broken, but has measured about 270mm by 50mm and 80mm in depth.
