The piece tapers slightly towards one end and has a humped outline. Only one face is carved. In the centre is a stemmed cross in low relief set against a roughened background. The stem of the cross swells towards the base.

The date of this piece is very uncertain since the form is incomplete and the cross shape is so simple and undiagnostic. It is included here since it could belong to an early medieval period.
