Field Visit (August 1989)
(4) Roughly rectangular slab, known only from a photograph taken about 1870 by the Revd J B Mackenzie. Damaged at the edges, it measured at least 0.9m by 0.35m (en.13*), and bore an irregular ringed cross with a broad margin carved in a mixture of incision and relief. The cross had square armpits enclosing rough pellets in triangular frames, within the ring-quadrants, and the ends of the arms expanded to form rectangular panels enclosing bosses of the same shape, while the intermediate part of the top arm was contracted. The surface of the cross appears to have been plain but there were traces of animal-carvings flanking the shaft and the top arm, which cannot be identified with certainty. (Photograph by Revd J B Mackenzie, prints in NMRS and in ECMS, 3, fig. 561 on p.513).
