Description
The back of this fragment has been removed. On face A there is the upper part of a cross carved in relief, with wedge-shaped arms and a circular centre, all outlined by a roll moulding. It appears to match the lower half represented by Hoddom 29, but the lithology of the two pieces is not, apparently, identical.
Date: uncertain.
