A (broad): Part of two panels separated by a flat-band moulding. On the left edge is a broad step-patterned border (step pattern 1). (i) The remains of two out-turned feet. (ii) Two figures, and possibly remains of a third, are frontal and holding books in their upturned hands. Their heads are wedge-shaped with hood-like haloes, their features lightly incised. They wear knee-length pleated tunics.
B (narrow): Broken
C (broad): A panel of ring-twist in a narrow flat-band moulding. Part of a broad band at the base. Partly hollowed for a secondary socket.
D (narrow): The remains of three registers of simple pattern D.
The figures with the hood-like haloes are a less crude form of 4 and could have been derived from the peculiar shape of the haloes on Auckland St Andrew I (see Discussion under 1). However, the interlace types and the mouldings are so similar to Aycliffe 5-6, that it seems they could all be one monument.
