Roman stone ornamental screen
There are traces in the the upper surface of two dowel-holes, one close to either end, and two rounded depressions hollowed by wear, with that on the left-hand side being very pronounced. Both side-edges bear extensive chisel marks, which are presumably the result of cutting the screen to size. A deep rebate runs the full length of the left-hand edge, which may have been used as a form of fixing, perhaps for the interlocking screen.
