The cross takes the form of a base, comprising a socket stone and the shaft. The cross, which was originally a monolith, has been broken into four stones at some date and subsequently reassembled. The cross stands on an earthen mound, within which the socket stone is partly buried. Set into the socket stone is the stone shaft, of tapering rectangular section. Each face of the shaft is divided by doubled mouldings into four ornamental panels. The elaborate low relief-carved decoration is mostly of interlaced plait-work and plant scrolls, including whorls of foliage with elongated leaves. One panel on the south face is believed to include a carving of a winged beast or dragon with an interlacing tail, whilst that above the gabled head on the north face has a symmetrical foliate ornament.
