Notes: This fragment of a cross-incised slab was formerly incorporated into the west wall of the same barn in which was found a Class 2 symbol stone (see entry for Reference Number SSC/8). Apparently a third stone which had been lying at the site disappeared during the 1960s, so the present owners decided to preserve this one by building it into a garden wall (see entry for Reference Number SSC/5). According to the owners, both this stone and the Class 2 symbol stone originally came from a site nearer the sea called 'the Chapel Stones' (ND 1988 3287). The stones used to build the barn and the substantial walls to its immediate south came from this site. |
