A and C (broad): A small fragment from an upright grave-marker which retains the traces of the terminal of a rectangular or very slightly wedge-shaped cross-arm of type A1 or B6, defined by a single incised line, on what survives of both faces. There was no border.
B (narrow): The scrap of surviving narrow face has no decoration.
This appears to be a marker with the simplest outlined cross decoration in the manner of the covers nos. 6 and 9 from St Mark's (Ills. 243–4, 245).
