Rectangular slab found in the N wall of the church; now lost. It measured 0.79m by 0.33m, and was damaged at the left edge and broken across. It bore an outline Latin cross with slightly rounded armpits, 0.51m high by 0.26m across the arms. The cross was described by Anderson as having 'double incised outlines', but the drawings appear to show a single groove with bevelled sides.

(Anderson 1900, 317 and fig.25 on p.319; Schultz album, pl.5; Cross 1984, B21).
