This road-side high cross stands c. 110m NW of Tully church (DU026-023003-). It is a plain granite ring-headed cross (H 2.34m by 0.9m across the ring) of c. 10th/11th-century date and is set into a cube-shaped base (H 2m); this was done sometime after 1860 (Corlett 2014, 100). There is a shingle design on the roof of the house-shaped capstone. On the upper surface of the base is a deeply incised Latin cross.
