In the NW sector of a graveyard (KD028-049011-) on an early monastic site (KD028-049001-). Part of a National Monument (No. 71) in state ownership. According to Bradley et al. 1986 vol. 4, 393-4), the North Cross, of granite, comprises a square shaft (H. 1.6m; L 0.4m; Wth 0.4m) set into an almost square base (H. 0.35m; L 0.9m; Wth 0.8m). The N, E, and W faces of the shaft have decorative panels representing biblical figures, and several panels of interlace, while the S face has heavily eroded interlace.
