Full Description
In the graveyard opposite the entrance to the church on the S side of the footpath is a very thin, possibly early Christian cross slab. 2m high x 1m x 50mm deep with check stone propping it up. Carving only on W side, of an incised cruciform cross outline that occupies whole of cross slab. Possible that this is no longer in its original position.

The cross slab was specifically included in the scheduling for the ruined church (originally scheduled in 1993) by Historic Scotland in 2001.
