This Early Christian stone was identified in 1961 in the paving of an outbuilding at Kilbride Farm, which is 250m SE of the medieval chapel No. 54, and it is now preserved in the garden SW of the farmhouse. The stone is a tapered slab, broken irregularly at one end although most of the ornament is preserved, and much worn. It measures 0.59m by 0.33m by 0.09m. It bears in low relief a Latin cross with small rounded armpits, outlined by a bead moulding and filled with plaited interlace which in the crosshead appears to form a lozenge of single strands round an indistinguishable central feature. The vertical spaces flanking the cross are filled with thick spirals, with angular linking sections. The form of the armpits and the interlace filling the cross suggest a 10th- or 11th-century date for this slab. (DES (1961), 9; Campbell & Sandeman, 69, no.445; Kist, 20 (1980), cover and pp.5,21).
