No. 5 The border of interlace contains an equal-armed cross upon an ornamental base. The arms of the cross are covered with fretwork and key-pattern, the centre with spirals. The angles at the intersections are hollowed. The hollows have each contained a cluster of three small bosses. The base is ornamented with interlace and two animal heads.

The panels of the background are inhabited by a grotesque beast; that on the bottom right is a bird swallowing a serpent.

On the other side of the stone is the lower part of a horseman who wears shoes with pointed heels; reins and saddle-cloth are evident; the horse's tail is cropped. On one of the sides is the mirror symbol and below it the 'elephant'.

S Cruden 1964.
