There is a cross at the E end of the ruins of the church (NS09NW 2). It is composed of a stone pillar and a block of hewn stone with a socket in its base from where the pillar was recently removed. It now lies within 10 yds of its original position. Traditionally, it has been used as a market cross, but originally erected as a monumental stone by some of the McLachlans.

Name Book 1864; Orig Paroch Scot 1854

The cross now stands 6.0m to the E of the chapel. It is complete apart for a major portion of the head.
