A symbol-bearing cross slab (Allen's Class II) was found c. 1865, acting as the cover of bridge over the Kettins Burn. It was removed and erected in Kettins churchyard close to the N wall. It is placed in a stone socket and measures c. 10' x 3'6" x 10". Now much worn, the slab still retains some sculptures of humans and animals.
