This stone was found during excavation at Cronk yn How (PRN 0468) in 1928. This broken slab has been carved on both faces. One face bears a linear cross finely cut with the point of a knife; the horizontal bar, represented by two strokes, marks the beginnings of a panel over the head of the cross. A well-cut hexafoil cross set within a circle is drawn in the middle of the other face. To this, another hand has added an irregularly-drawn outer border. Above is a small plain cross in outline. An irregular linear frame has been added inside the edge of the slab, which has been overscored with another frame of zig-zag scratches.
