Only one face is visible.
A (broad): A form of hammer-head (type 5), the upper arm perhaps being of type C11. The arm-pits of the cross are three-quarter circles. No surface ornament survives.
B–D: Built in.
There is no diagnostic ornament other than the rather late hammer-head, for which there is a parallel in the free-armed cross, Middleton 3. It is possible that carving survives on the hidden faces.
