All arms are lost.
A (broad): The centre has two heavy concentric rings, well-modelled in their cutting. In the centre is a rough hole, possibly secondary.
B and D (narrow): Broken away.
C (broad): Faint traces of concentric rings, as on face A.
A simple piece, its closest parallel is the equally primitive cross-head from The Mount (Ills. 354–6). Both may be unambitious versions of the type of cross such as Bishophill Junior 5 (Ills. 234–5), which has the same bold ring.
