HU 4325 2790 Fragment of a larger piece of grey sandstone; flat deep, and roughly three-sided. Pecked flat on reverse, the upper face has been rubbed smooth, with one 'corner' appearing to be the shoulder of a longer 'limb' (now broken off). This was found by the donor at Mail graveyard, Cunningsburgh; howvere, soil there came from Dunrossness, so may be from either parish. This may be part of a cross. Now in Shetland Museum.
