NR89NE 14 8524 9650.

NR 854 965. A small cross slab was found in 1961, forming part of the paving of a pigsty at Kilbride; it is now preserved behind the house. It measures 1'10" x 1'1 1/2", narrowing to 8 1/2" x 3 1/2", and is broken across the wider end. The cross is 4" wide across the shaft, outlined by a fillet, with circular pits at the intersections of arms and shaft. The cross is filled with 4-part plaitwork; the remainder of the stone with running scrolls, all in relief. According to local information, a second cross is "hidden somewhere about the farm". (Presumably they have come from St Bride's Chapel, NR89NE 1.)
