Field Visit (August 1989)
(2; SOD 'C') Roughly rectangular upright slab set in a modern concrete base, 1.2m in visible height by 0.59m. On one face (a) the surface has been worked with a pick or pointed chisel to leave a Latin cross in low relief, except at the base of the shaft which is incised. The cross has a roll moulded margin and narrow semicircular armpits, and a spiral at the centre of the cross-head is linked to key-pattern in the side-arms, but the top arm and shaft are too weathered for any ornament to be identifiable. On the other face (b)there is a similar cross, preserving key-pattern in the top arm and one side-arm, and a twist or interlaced pattern in the lower part of the shaft, but much damaged elsewhere. (Kist,20 (1980), 2 -4).
