Rectangular cross-shaft. The incomplete panels on all four faces are bordered laterally by a roll moulding.

Spiral-scroll school (Introduction, pp. 33-8). The ornamental layout on face A is closely paralleled on Plumbland 1 and St Bees 4 (and probably also on Beckermet St Bridget 2), whilst the decoration on the narrow faces is very close to that on St Bees 2.
