A (broad) : A plate-head cross of type B10, the plate small and recessed. The lateral arms are very short, with widely curving arm-pits. The upper limb is broken at the top left. In the centre is a domed boss, slightly off the axis. In each arm is a 'Brompton loop' in modelled median-incised strand.
B (narrow) : The arm-tip has a modelled edge moulding framing a four-cord plain plait of four stages in narrow modelled strand, damaged below. The hole-points are 1 inch apart.
C (broad) : As face A, but not median-incised; the strand is well modelled, even fleshy.
D (narrow) : Largely broken. The arm-tip has the top of a panel of plain plait, as face B.
Clearly of the same school as nos. 6 and 7, though the dimensions of the plate differ and the strand here is median-incised on one face.
