The drawing shows the plain cross as hewn from a single block. The head type appears to be E8. The shaft tapers a little towards the cross-head and has a rounded base.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
Unfortunately no scale is provided for this piece, although it is called a grave-stone by Ventress. It could not, therefore, have been as large as the Kirkhaugh cross, with which it can be compared for its rough uncarved form. It seems likely that crosses like this one, which are also found as markers on the North York Moors, could have been produced after the Conquest.
