Field Visit (June 1987)
(6) Roughly rectangular slab, 0.95m by 0.26m, damaged at the left edge and formerly reused as a headstone. It bears a ringed cross O.27m in diameter, having a long tapering shaft incised with a simple twist-pattern. This extends to the centre of the cross-head, but there is no visible ornament on the other arms, which are much worn. The cross has square armpits enclosing 40mm pellets, and the side- and top-arms do not extend beyond the ring, although the top arm overlies it. (White, Knapdale, pl.17, 2; Drummond, Monuments, pl.62, 2; PSAS, 69 (1934-5), fig.7 on p.19).
