A fragment of a stone cross discovered in May 1990 while digging the garden. The stone is a rough boulder, a water-worn piece of reddish Old Red Sandstone with the upper face pecked flat to display a Latin cross in relief. All three arms have expanded terminals, as does the shaft, but there is no other decoration. From the algal stain on the top face, the cross side has obviously been exposed for some time. On the underside is a recent plough mark, suggesting the stone came from arable fields in the not too distant past. It measures 34 cm x 26 cm x 190 cm high. The fragment is now in the Meffan Institute, Forfar.
