Next to Ruthwell, this is the most complete Anglian sculptured cross in the region. Standing to an overall height of 2.7m, it remains intact except for the top and side-arms of the cross-head and may occupy its original position. The cross-head had double concave 'arm-pits' with a flat central rosette. The faces are made up of zoomorphic-carved panels, including paired and winged beasts, while the narrow sides bear continuous variegated plait decoration.
