(NO 2380 0206) Cross (NR) (Site of)
OS 6" map (1947)
A cross formerly stood below the farm steading of Ingrie. The cross itself has disappeared but what is probably the socket stone is built into the dyke about 600 yds SE of the farm-house. It is a roughly dressed rectangular block of sandstone 2'3" by 2'7" in height, tapering somewhat to the top in which there is a socket 11 1/2" by 10 1/2" by 3 3/4" deep.

Cross, near Ingri.
The farm of Ingri is reputed to be the site of a chapel, but no vestigeso f the building now remain. A cross is recorded in the New Statistical Account (1) as having formerly stood immediately below the old farmsteading, and the site is marked on the O.S. map [xix S.E.]. The cross itself has disappeared, but a base, socketed for the reception of a shaft or pillar, is still to be seen built into the dike on the north side of the public road, about 600 yards south-east of the farmhouse. It is a roughly dressed rectangular block of sandstone, 2 feet 7 inches in height and tapering somewhat from the base upwards, with a socketed recess on the top measuring 11 ½ inches long by 10 ½ broad by 3 ¾ deep. Its north and south faces measure 2 feet 6 inches across, and its east and west faces 2 feet 3 inches. The stone is known to have been removed from the farm, and is, in all probability, the base of the missing cross.
