This example is very weathered and worn, and represents only a fragment from one end of the original stone. An animal is discernible on one side. Lang describes a "quadruped with a foreleg raised and the tail over the back". The other side bears tegulae, a pattern representing tiles or scales. The stone probably dates to the 11th century AD.
