Reference Number: SSC/19
Name: Lybster Description: Cross-incised Boulder Present Location: Lybster Church Original Location: Lybster Harbour ND 2420 3490

Notes: This stone is recorded as originally lying on a slope above Ulbster harbour, and was first noted in the early eighteenth century (see MCG p166). It now lies in a rather inaccessible position outside the church at Ulbster, covered by a stone slab. The stone features an evidently natural basin-like depression which suggests that the stone was used as a baptismal font. The cross is incised, and consists of parallel lines forming an equal-armed cross with slightly expanded ends. The whole design measures some 1 foot 8 inches in width. |
