No. 1 A Class 2 symbol-bearing cross-slab was found in the burial-ground of St Braoch's Church (NO75NW 2). It is an upright piece of old red sandstone, rectangular in shape and measuring 0.73m x 0.48m x 0.05m. It is sculptured in low relief on both sides; the front bears a cross ornamented with a key pattern and scrolling, the arms linked by four quadrants. The background bears reptile and snake motifs and a rampant beast and two standing figures in the lower panels. The reverse: an abstract grouping of various figures and animals in low relief. Now in the Montrose Museum (NO 7162 5771).
