O S Name Book 1870.
One of two flat stones lying together is decorated with a Maltese cross, probably pre-Reformation. At the foot of the cross is the outline of a shears, but this is probably more modern. The accompanying stone is plain.
W Jolly 1885.
This decorated stone described by Jolly is in Killianan graveyard (NH53SE 4), at the published site. It is a prostrate grave slab which, according to Mr Stewart, who sent a 'rubbing' to National Museum of Antiquites of Scotland, dates from about the 14 century.
