The centre and parts of two arms of a cross-head with narrow curved armpits.
A (broad): On this face there survives a flat central boss with worn interlace incorporating at least one loose ring in the arms: the interlace flows from one arm to the next, following the curve of the worn edge moulding.
B (narrow): The plain armpit survives on this face.
C (broad): The centre and upper arm are damaged and indecipherable. There is a fragment of interlace, either incorporating a loose ring or a pattern F loop as in Collingwood's reconstruction, in the left arm.
D (narrow): Missing
Collingwood (1915a, 230, figs. gg, hh) reconstructed this as a ring-head, but there is no evidence for this. It is very worn, but it is not inconceivable that this is part of Otley 4 (Ills. 583–6), or of a very similar monument.
