The squat Saxon cross at Beckermet is stylistically very similar to Eliseg's pillar at Llangollen and to others in the Lyme, the moorlands fringing the eastern border of Cheshire and Staffordshire with the Peak District, especially between Macclesfield and Leek. The western side of the Beckermet cross, shown here, displays a panel thought to carry Viking runes carved on its surface.
