The cross-head has arms of type E10, with wide arm-pits and slightly curved ends. There is no surface ornament.
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date).
There is no ornament upon which to base stylistic analysis and only the form of the cross-head gives a clue to its being a late survival. It may be compared with Warden 3 in Northumberland (Cramp 1984, II, pl. 254, 1387–8), or Middlesmoor, West Riding (Collingwood 1927, 90–2, fig. 112).
