Immediately S of Torr Iain Ghairbh (NG53NW 10), a sculptured stone was found in 1846, which is presently placed in an upright position near the E end of Raasay House. This rough granite slab bears on one side in relief what appears to commemorate one of the stages of the Passion of Christ, and is possibly one of the eight crosses referred to by Boswell as St. Maol-luag's chapel sanctuary markers (see NG53NW 4).
(The OS published entries indicate that this stone was removed from where it was set up, some time between 1877 and 1904.)
Name Book 1877; F A Pottle and C H Bennett 1963.
This stone could not be found at Raasay House. Local enquiries proved negative.
