A (broad) : The edge moulding is modelled. The cross is type 10 with curving arm-pits. On the lateral limbs are the stumps of either billets or a plate. In the centre is a defaced circular boss. Within each arm is a pattern F 'Brompton loop' (Fig. 12, p. 47) with connecting strands.
B (narrow) : The edge moulding is modelled. On the arm-tip is a panel containing three registers of four-cord closed circuit interlace with deep hole-points. The surface is slightly convex.
C (broad) : Defaced.
D (narrow) : Damaged on the edges, the arm-tip is as face B with four registers of closed circuit.
The design closely resembles the sequence of cross-heads at Brompton and Northallerton (Ills. 51–78, 677–89), and these pieces have also been linked by template analysis (Bailey 1980, 240, fig. 71). See Chap. VI, p. 48.
