What is recorded here
An Early Christian grave slab was recently exposed in the graveyard, fragments of which are kept in the present St Nahi's church (L1.64m, Wth 0.46m, T 011-12m). The slab features an incised Saltire (?) cross formed by two sets of three lines radiating from a central cup mark. The central cup mark is quite faint (D 0.05m) (Corlett 220, 139-143).
