The arm of a ring-headed cross (type a).
A (broad) : The edge moulding is eroded away. Remains of a broad closely woven interlace strand survive, though heavily worn.
B and D (narrow) : The stumps of the ring, recessed, survive on each side.
C (broad) : The narrow edge moulding contains better preserved interlace in a wide strand.
E (top) : The narrow edge moulding is worn and contains on the arm-tip a clumsily carved twin-link (closed circuit pattern B).
The cutting is not assured. The ring-head form suggests a tenth-century date.
