Two cross-slabs, dated by MacLeod to the late 10th/11th century, were moved in 1864 from their position by the medieval route above High Auchenlarie to the garden at Cardoness House (NX 5665 5362). They are 5'8" and 5'9" tall, and, according to the RCAHMS, when in situ, they were leaning N, surrounded by a cairn of boulders.
