Stone type: Find-grained, very micaceous, finely bedded, flaggy, yellow to light grey sandstone. |

There is an eight-fold arcade carved on this slab. A flat, plain moulding, runs along the top and sides of this and on the
bottom there is inhabited plant scroll.

| GeneralDescription |
The figure in arch 5 is very damaged and difficult to make out, may have had a halo. The figure in the next arch is facing
to the right and the head is hooded. The fore-arms may be raised before the head or else they are holding a swaddled child.
Hawkes suggests that these, and arches 7 and 8, are a Resurrection scene.
