The earliest community was formed by St Columba who came over from Ireland around AD 563. This was replaced by the Benedictine Abbey and Augustinian Nunnery in around AD 1200. This drawing shows a fragment of a free-standing cross. It come from the junction of the circular cross-head with either an arm or the shaft. The fragment is decorated with a rope-moulding which follows the curve of the disc. The stone is in the Abbey Museum. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
