Killevin 2

(2) Cruciform stone, 0.84m in height and 0.34m across the arms, which are 0.13m high. The shaft tapers in width from 0.23m below the arm to 0.21m at the foot, which is irregularly broken, and the slab is 85mm thick. The surface is much worn, and some details of the lightly incised ornament are unidentifiable, but the shaft and upper arm of an outline cross are indicated and the cross-head is filled by a cross-incised roundel 160mm in diameter within a 40mm border. This is probably the 'small cross ... half concealed by a heap of stones' described by Howson in 1842, and the 'small stone having a simple cross rudely carved upon it' seen by Drummond at Killevin in 1866 (en.12). It was recorded in the burial-ground by the Ordnance Survey in the same year, but had been removed to the Free Church manse at Minard before 1926 (13*). A second stone said to have been found along with this in the manse garden some time before 1962 has not been identified (en.14).
