Small cuboid inscribed pedestal with a short rectangular column which originally rested on the pedestal lying beside it. The column was probably surmounted by an urn, the base of which is present. The column measured 23cm by 20cm by 14.5cm. The various element where originally held together by iron pins. The plot was delineated by a limestone kerb with chamfers on the inside and outside. The kerb enclosed an area 219cm long and 97 wide. The first part of the inscription below is now missing.
