Archaeology Notes

(14) A cross of the Whithorn School. On the front is a cross with a slight central boss and expanded arms, separated by circles. A wide border encloses the cross. The shaft has a panel of irregular interlace, the strands marked by a central groove. On the back a similar cross fills the head. Cross and shaft are filled with a continuous interlace of the same type as that on the front.

Radford and Donaldson 1953b, 41.
