Description

Part of an architectural feature. Only one face is decorated, with pellets enclosed by roll moulding (depth of carving 2 cm). One end has been chopped off.

Discussion

Since this has part of the same ornament as Avebury 2 and is of the same stone type, it is probably also part of a similar impost or a frieze.
