Cross incised on Boulder, Clach an t-Sagairt, Dun Rosail.

About 100 yards north of Dun Rosail is a large block of stone set on edge facing the south-east and measuring 8 feet in height, 11 feet in breadth and 4 ½ feet in thickness at its base, with a Latin cross incised on it towards the sinister top corner of its face. The cross measures 1 foot 3 inches in length and 11 ½ inches across the arms. For about 3 inches at the lower part of the shaft it narrows from a width of 21 inches to about 1 inch. This stone is also known as Clach na h’Ulaidh and Crois Aona’ain. (Fig. 103.)
