Type A10.

The moulding and outline of this piece are slightly more elegant than on 8, with which there are obvious similarities. It is possible that there was some feature in the centre of the head, as on 8, but similar plain crosses are known from Whitby (Peers and Radford 1943, pl. 29A). The fact that this is only carved on one side may mean that such crosses were only newly developed from the cruciferous slab (see Jarrow 9). A slab with a plain cross outlined by a roll moulding is known from Whitby (ibid., pl. 20A).
