Though no pre-Reformation monuments survive in Alloway kirkyard, this Early Christian cross-slab was found nearby in a small coppice on Cambusdoon property, separated from the kirkyard by a wall. The lower part was firmly fixed in the ground, with the broken upper part resting on it. This upper part is now situated at NS 3289 1823, in the centre of a small lawn adjacent to Cambusdoon School. It measures 0.6m by 0.45m by 0.175m thick. The findspot, at NS 3317 1806, was pointed out by Mr Lennie (headmaster, Cambusdoon School), who remembered the slab being found.
