A (broad): Set inside a narrow flat-band moulding is a cross formed by a deeply incised outline. Part of its horizontal arms and shaft survive. The head type is possibly B9. The shaft tapers sharply towards the head.
This could be a head-or foot-stone, with the cross shape of 10 copied in incised form. No. 13 is either part of the same assemblage, i.e. head-stone/footstone, or carved by the same workshop. However, since neither monument is complete, it is conceivable that these could be dedication crosses for a stone church (see Monkwearmouth 28-9). If this is a grave-marker, the crude pick-outlined technique is comparable with Bishopwearmouth.
