A (broad): Edged with a deep roll moulding which returns along the base of a panel containing the lower half of two figures. On the left the figure faces right and has a short skirt and short thick legs; a similar figure faces left, but only one leg survives.
B (narrow) and C (broad): Broken away.
D (narrow): Dressed smooth.
It is not clear whether this piece was part of a cross or of a panel, but it is a relatively large-scale carving. The deeply carved figures are not unlike those on some Sockburn stones (e.g. nos. 5 and 7), but the type is widely distributed from Lindisfarne to the Tees valley.
