Two fragments, possibly of an architectural panel, in medium-grained red sandstone. One, the head and neck of a bird, is 4 cm high x 5 cm wide x 1 cm deep, the other, a plain curving fragment, is 0.8 cm high x 5 cm wide x 0.7 cm deep. Both are late 7th century to early 8th century and were found together in 1965 during archaeological excavation of a Saxon building.
