Since this piece is now lost it can only be described from Collingwood's drawing.
A (broad): The central portion of a cross-head of uncertain type with a roundel containing a rosette surrounded by what may be part of an interlace pattern.
C (broad): A central roundel divided into quadrants, each of which contains a triquetra knot. This is surrounded by strands which may have formed part of an interlace pattern.
The rosette motif is also found on 8. The form of interlace roundel is unusual, but can be paralleled on a name-stone from Lindisfarne (no. 28) and on a tenth-century cross-head from Gainford (no. l2). Collingwood (1927, 33, fig. 42) links this piece with the shaft fragment (no. 4) and the base (no. 12), but this is by no means certain.
