The base of the cross may originally have been sunk in the ground and this carving added to it when the cross was raised and
moved to a new location. It is carved in a 9th-century style, so is clearly later than the rest of the carvings on the cross.
At the centre is the crucified Christ, his head drooping to the right. Discs representing the sun and the moon are carved either
side of the top of his cross. The figures standing below the cross to either side of Christ may be the Virgin Mary and John the
Evangelist, who witnessed the Crucifixion, or they may be Longinus and Stephaton, the spear- and sponge-bearer.
