Slab of schist, broken at the foot, measuring 0.52m by 0.39m. It was found in the same wall as no.(5) in 1972. It bears an incomplete cross on each face and the edges of the slab have rounded projections corresponding to their top and side-arms. That on face (a) has arms varying from 70mm to 90mm in width, defined by a groove about 20mm wide, and the small circular armpits are more deeply sunk. At the centre of the cross-head there is a small recessed boss. The cross on the other face (b) is executed in low relief and its arms are less regular in alignment and width. The armpits are plain, and there is a central recessed boss about 70mm in diameter.
