Found in a pile of stonework in the ruined church, most of the head of a disc-headed cross slab, probably an Early Christian grave marker, 31cm by 30cm by 10cm. The stone is carved on one face with a sunken cross with wedge shaped arms within an incised circle. At the centre of the cross is a small square raised boss. This stone has been removed to Montrose Museum.

Another Early Christian cross-slab, a small stone incised with an equal-armed cross within a circle, the larger part of which had broken off was noted at the same time as the first stone, but is no longer to be seen.
