OS 1:10,000 map, (1975).
Tom na Croise: a natural mound. The name is still in use and the tradition regarding the original site of the cross-decorated stone was verified locally. Stevenson could not give a date for the cross.
Visited by OS (R D) 8 October 1969; Information from R B K Stevenson, Keeper, NMAS.
Reference (2001)
A pillar from Tom na Croise ('the knoll of the cross') is now in the Museum of Scotland. It is 0.94m by 0.30m by 0.14m and bears on face (a) a sunken equal-armed cross above a 0.19m boss ornamented with radial grooves. A shaft in relief, bearing traces of an incised plait, descends from the boss to the foot of the stone. On face (b) is a sunken Latin cross.
