NX98NW 12 9252 8507.
NX 9252 8507. A 9th or 10th century cross 1.9m high stands on a modern base in the grounds of Friar's Carse. This is probably one of many such crosses and carved stones which Capt Riddell brought here in the late 18th c. (Trans Dumfriesshire Galloway Natur Hist Antiq Soc 1948). None of the others remain.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (BS) 12 June 1975.
