The western face of the cross head, with its rectangular shaped recess. F H Starkey says he disagrees with opinions that the cross head has been displayed upside down. Given the socket hole at the top of the cross head and the collar, I disagree with Starkey, but could very well be wrong!

I just wondered whether the socket hole (top) was where something was placed ie holy water, vinegar, or coins. It's just a thought.
