(NR 6912 8056) Stone Cross (NR) (Sculptured)

OS 6" map (1924)

A free-standing cross, 7'4" x 1'9" across arms x 6 1/2", carved with figures, a central boss, panels of inter-lace and leaf-scrolls, is situated behind the chapel at Keills. It probably dates to the late 7th century. (C Curle 1940). Stuart (1867) shows the cross standing in a stony mound which he suggested was the founder's grave. This is now grassed over.
