'Slab of blue schistose grit found in the 'Women's Burial-place' in 1891 and donated to Bute Museum in 1913. It measures 0.57m by 0.17m and 50mm thick and is irregularly tapered in the lower part. It bears a Latin cross, about 0.28m high, incised with a V-section groove up to 50mm in width. There is a transverse bar across the lower part of the shaft, and the top and side-arms have triple-forked terminals which at the left extend on to the edge of the slab.
