Notable among the protective marks is a concentric circle made up of twenty circles. There are compass circles and daisy wheels, Marian marks, a pentagram and a fox and geese merel. There is also a shape like a union jack rather than a merel.

The rest consist of dot patterns and initials. The dates are mostly 17th and 18th century.
