A large block of worked marble with bevelled edges on one face. The bevelled face has a circular depression which shows evidence of iron staining. One end of the object has been broken and has a rough, uneven surface. 

This architectural fragment along with flat pieces of worked marble, MOL.2021.19.1846, may have formed part of a fireplace surround.

This object was excavated by Museum of Liverpool Archaeology and community volunteers during the Piermaster's Green Community Dig. The project investigated the homes of Dock Masters, Pier Masters and their families. Numbers 7, 8 and 10 Albert Parade were built by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board in 1852 to accomidate staff for the Albert and Canning Docks. The houses were hit by an incendiary bomb during the Second World War.
