The end of one arm of a cross-head, probably type E10.
A (broad): The visible face is edged by a flat moulding. Within this and filling the space is the terminal of a triple-stranded interlace or twist, in the form of a Stafford Knot (simple pattern E). The strands are fine and rounded.
B–E: The remaining faces are built into the wall.
This is part of a cross-head directly comparable to Kirkby Wharfe 1 and 3 and Collingham 5 (Ills. 161–5, 432–5, 440–3). The multiple strand interlace was popular within the area, and is also found at Thorp Arch and Wighill (Ills. 722, 766–8).
