SJ 55356251. The remains consist of a socket stone of red
sandstone measuring 0.9m by 0.8m and 0.45m high, with a fragment
of shaft of yellow sandstone, 0.9m high, 0.35m square in section.

The base has moulded corners, that on the SE being different
from the others and possibly formerly supported a statuette.
The shaft is surmounted by a sundial.

It is possible that as the socket stone and shaft are of
different materials, they belong to separate crosses.
