Damaged sandstone disc-head from St Blane's, now in Bute Museum. It lacks one edge and the lower part, but measured about 0.25m in original diameter. The four oval hollows on each face are arranged in a circle, forming a cross with curved arms which merge into a wide ring, and the hollows and outer edge have been moulded.
