Arm from cross-head probably type A9. The ornament on all four faces was bordered by a roll moulding.
A (broad): Interlace of simple pattern E terminal with continuation of uncertain type; the strands are deeply cut and median-incised.
B (narrow): Only vestigial traces of relief ornament appear towards the top of the panel (interlace with median-incised strands?).
C (broad): Traces of interlace formed by median-incised strands.
D (narrow): All that now survives are traces of indecipherable interlace.
Neither the shape of the cross arm nor the ornament provide any firm evidence for date.
