Fragmentary slab or pillar-stone probably part of the shaft of a disc-headed slab-cross with carved decoration in low-relief on one face: The decoration consists of: 1. A full-length human figure (in conventional posture of prayer), with raised armsbent at the elbow. The head is rounded and hairless, the features crudely rendered. The figure is clothed in a belted kilt with a narrow band of diagonal frets, or stylised plaitwork, descending from each elbow; 2. Above the figure, touching the finger tips, is the lower part of a ringed cross-potent (of which one squared arm-end and parts of two arcs of the ring survive). Each element is outlined by plain beading and filled with straight fret-pattern.
