Cross

Now situated in the Visitor Centre, this cross was moved from the location shown on the OS 6-inch map (given above). It may have had an earlier location also. A granite cross (H 1.66 m; Wth of arms 0.76m) with a crucifixion figure on the E face and patterns of zoomorphic interlace on the S and N sides, set into a truncated pyramidal base (dims. 0.32m x 0.18m). The figure of Christ is wearing a short tunic and the decoration is executed in high relief. (Harbison 1992, 95; Leask 1950, 39-45). See WI023-007---- for details of its original location.

A granite market cross with a crucifix, built in the 19th century, likely as a replacement or relocation of an earlier structure; its present form reflects a traditional Christian design and serves as a local landmark and historical artifact.
