RCAHMS; Early Medieval Sculpture in the West Highlands and Islands

(2) Fragmentary cruciform stone of dark hornblende-schist, 0.65m in visible surviving height by 0.26m and 100mm thick. A sketch by Muir in 1855 shows what appears to be this stone with both side-arms almost intact, but it now preserves only one half of the shaft and the corresponding side-arm. The surviving lower armpit is square, but the left edge of the E face has a bead-moulding which curves to enclose an oval inner armpit 30mm deep.

(T S Muir 1885, 47; E Beveridge 1911, 297-8; RCAHMS 1928, No.166).
