In the churchyard at Rothesay is a sculptured cross-shaft which has come 'from the other side' to Ascog farm (NS 103 630) and thence to the churchyard where it was used as a gravestone until recognised, repaired, and re-erected in 1886. The stone measures 5 ft 7ins. in length by 10 1/2 to 13 ins. in breadth by 3 1/4 to 3 3/4 inches in thickness.

A tenon on the top and depressions in the sides show where a capital and arms had been attached, similar to the Irish high cross.
