This stone belongs to the round-headed group with tapering sides. Only one face is carved.
A (broad): A double-incised frame enclosing parts of two arms and the central roundel of a median-incised cross of type G1. The ends of the cross-arms are inset from the frame. There are two inscriptions:
(a) Upper left quadrant, in runes:
h[. .—] II
(b) Lower left quadrant, in Anglo-Saxon capitals:
[HA] II —
The `H' of the lower inscription could also be completed as `B'.
The carving of the cross, the border, and the lower inscription is deep and confident. The runes are, as on other pieces here, less deeply carved. The layout is poor, however, both in the proportions of the cross and in the large lower inscription.
