The fragment is the end of a free arm from a cross, type not discernible, with a curved terminal. The piece has a continuous flat-band perimeter moulding.
A: Fragmentary terminals of an interlace with median-incised strands.

D: Obliterated.
Collingwood (1911a, 262) thought it likely that this piece was the head of no. 1 from this site. The interlace strand is identical. He also suspected traces of a wheel (1926, 327).
