A (broad) : The lateral arms and centre of a free-armed cross of type B10 with curving arm-pits and straight tips to the arms. The edge moulding is triple. In the plain centre of the cross is a low boss, deeply outlined.

C (broad) : As face A.
D (narrow) : Plain.
This very plain cross offers little or no clue regarding its date. Free-armed crosses appear across the whole period.
