St Palladius' Chapel, Burial-ground and Cross-slab NO 726 784 NO77NW 3

In the vestibule of the present church there is a Class II 'Pictish' cross-slab which had been used as the base of the pulpit in the church of 1788. The face bears a Latin cross, part of a 'sea monster', a double-disc and Z-rod, a hunting scene with three horsemen and dogs, and two inscriptions, one in Hiberno-Saxon miniscules (on the face) and the other in Ogam (on the edge).
