Field Visit (August 1989)
(5; SDD '3') Slightly tapered fragment, 0.49m in incomplete length by 0.36m, much worn. On one face a central panel of interlace formed by two double-beaded bands is divided by roll-mouldings from strips of three-cord plait. The original context of this stone is not apparent and it could be part of a cross or graveslab of late medieval date, but the central interlace-motif is an unusual one, known from a lost carving at Iona and a cross-slab of about the 10th century at Rothesay (en.14), and an Early Christian date seems more probable. (6; SDD '23').
