Scope and Content West face of cross-shaft in chapel at Kilmory Knap, Argyll and Bute In 1934 the chapel at Kilmory Knap was restored and roofed with glass by the Office of Works. It now houses Early Christian and medieval stones from the chapel and churchyard, including this shaft and part of its cross-head. The tapering shaft, set in a modern base, is in two fragments joined by modern cement. There is an armed horseman at the foot of the shaft, and the remainder is filled with interlace and intertwined stems bearing three-lobed leaves. It is thought that the shaft is a product of the Iona school of stone carving. In Argyll there were four main styles, or schools, of stone carving in the 14th-early 16th century: Iona, Kintyre, Loch Awe, and Loch Sween. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
