A (broad) : The lower, straight-sided stem of the cross is plain for 18.5 cm, and the lowest 16.5 cm has been dressed back, perhaps as a tenon. The cross-head is type B8, the arms standing proud from recessed infills within the arm-pits. At the intersection is a circular domed boss.
B (narrow) : Broken away.
C (broad) : As face A but more crudely laid out.
D (narrow) : Plain apart from a groove beneath the lower arm.
E (top) : The infill element between the arms is ridged.
