NT57SE 31 5566 7259

For discovery of long cist in the churchyard, see NT57SE 32.

This stone is accepted by MacKie as a fragment of an Early Christian Anglian cross shaft with interlace decoration. However, McWilliam notes it as 'a re-used strip of 12th century carving'. He also notes that the Dalrymple loft attached to the church was built about 1730.
