Head, type B10.
A and C (broad): An attempt has been made to outline the faces with a double roll moulding in a picked technique, but on face A this peters out and on face C there has been difficulty in turning the corner. In the centre of each face is a flat cross-incised boss, surrounded by a roll moulding. The boss on face C is less well laid out.
B and D (narrow): Plain.
The head shape and the crude picked technique all argue for a late date. The linear cross on a circle is found on stones throughout the pre-Conquest period (see Warden 2).
