Summary
Fragment of tracery in soft chalky clunch; one face heavily weathered and almost lost, the other reasonably complete. Upper part of an ogee head flanked by cusped open tracery, of which one cusp survives on each side of the head. Each cusp has a deeply-sunk spandrel to its rear and is hollow chamfered. The general design is very similar to BOD/SC/1-10, but here a narrow groove running centrally down the face of the arch helps to give a more delicate appearance. Medieval (14th century)
